I had a doctor visit on Thursday June 30th and due to my blood pressure and contractions we decided it would be best to move the C Section to July 4th, making Bryce a 4th of July baby! We went in at 10am and he was born at 12:39pm. The doctor held him up and said "He's a big boy!" and he is! He weighed in at 8 pounds 9 ounces and 20 inches long (although a few days later he measured 21.25 inches) and he has a full head of brown hair! He's super strong and the most mild mannered baby. We donated his cord blood and they told us it was the biggest cord blood donation in their history. He's already breaking records ;) He scored a 8/9 on his Apgar although when he came out he had a hard time clearing the liquid from his lungs so they had to do a special thing to him with tubes and suction to get it out.
Craig and I and Bryce stayed in the hospital for several days and the kids came to visit each day with Mimi and Grampy. Grandma and Granda Schwarz came to visit on the 4th as well. Braydon and Siena LOVE him! They fight over who gets to hold him and give him tons of hugs and kisses. I overheard Braydon telling him he's "like a brand new really cool Lego".
His weight is in the 78th percentile and height is 96th. He LOVES to eat and sleep and smiles and grunts in his sleep. He's the greatest blessing and addition to our now complete family of 5!
The day before delivery. Momma had a BIG belly!
First time we laid eyes on each other.
The first time the kids met Baby B! They LOVE him!
Headed home!
