I went to the hospital on Friday, January 9, 2004 at 5:00 am for my induction. I was 39 weeks into a very long pregnancy and couldn't wait to hold my baby boy for the first time. The nurse started the pitocin at 6:00 am and Dr. Barrong came in and broke my water at 8:15 am. By 3:20 that afternoon (and after 2 hours of pushing and a baby who was stuck), Matthew Wayne Buck was born...9lbs 1oz, 20 inches long. I was so happy to have Kevin, my mom, Kristin and my dad all in the delivery room with me. And, for those of you who are wierded out by the fact that my dad was there, he spent the entire time in a rocking chair at my head.
Here are some pictures from the day our baby boy came into our lives.

You ready to do it all over again? Ready or not it will come. LOL.
How nice for Matthew for you to share that with him. I remember the doctor telling me when Rachel was going to be born to make sure that who ever comes over to the house to see the new baby that I let them know to talk to Misty first so she won't feel pushed aside. I thought it was good advice.
That is great advice! I will have to try that one. We have been trying to include him in everything and I have been trying to snuggle him a little more than usual...but you can tell he is struggling a little bit! Only one more month!
