Maddox was born on Monday, June 11th at 8:09pm. He was 8lbs 12oz and 19in long. Considering that my water broke at 530am that morning, it was a long day. Thank goodness for epidurals and good surgeons. Apparently my body is not built to push out an 8lb 12 oz baby, so I had a C Section. I was very nervous about it but after 14hrs of labor, the doctor said it was time. I made the anesthesiologist promise me a million times that I wouldn't feel anything and I didn't. It was actually an amazing experience. I'll never forget laying on the operating table and just waiting to hear the cry and it was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. Here are some pictures the night Maddox was born.
The first couple of months after Maddox was born were difficult to say the least and not just recovery from the C section and having a newborn in the house. I somehow contracted a life threatening, drug resistent infection and had to undergo another surgery 5 weeks after I had Maddox. Thank goodness for my mother and mother-in-law who took turns staying with us while I recovered from surgery and my IV drug treatments. I definitely wouldn't have been able to get through all of that without Stefan as well. He's such an amazing father and was so great while I was sick. Consequently there are not a lot of pictures of us the first couple of months :). Since then though, things have been great. I have included all of our Maddox Picture Albums via links on the side. Feel free to take a look. Enjoy!
