Meet John Carter Myers!

Doctors and Nurses and Babies...Oh My!

John Carter Myers arrived at 1:00 pm today (Tues. 10/7) and weighs 7 lbs, 3 ounces, 21.9 inches long! He let out a little cry and squeezed Daddy's finger. His stats were good when they took him to the ICN and we're just waiting to get in to see him now. I called an hour ago and his nurse said that his oxygen and blood pressure were good (Oxygen was in the 70s breathing on his own when he was born) and that he's trying to pull out the tubes and lines, so they'll likely sedate him! What a stinker!

We lucked out and had an easy labor. They began induction around 9pm last night, stopped pitocin around 3am and we went on our merry little way from there. I didn't need a c-section because he responded well to the contractions, so Mommy is doing well. I just have to add that Brad has been wonderful. He has been a rock and is waiting on me, doing whatever I need. He even asked the doctors in delivery what he could do to help me.

And as a reminder, this is what I posted about a dream I had a week ago:
"I had a dream last night that Carter will be born on a day with a 7 in it at 1:00pm and he had a head full of dark hair. That leaves Sept. 27 and Oct. 7. There was also something about a Tuesday, but I don't remember what."
