The last couple of months have been a whirlwind so I am combining our monthly update! Most of February was spent getting the final touches ready for our little man to make his arrival in March. We finally finished the nursery and got those last minute items ready! Here are a couple pics of the finished product.
When March came, we were anxiously awaiting our new arrival. We were due the week of Spring Break, which would have been super convenient for John and my parents. However, when we went to the doctor that week, the doctor had surprising news that we needed to schedule a c-section. This caught John and I by surprise since we have had such an easy, noneventful pregnancy. Our little booger never dropped so we had two options...induce, which the doctor said we would likely have a hard labor and probably end up in the operating room anyway or just schedule the c-section. Being the planners we are, we opted for the scheduled delivery.
The c-section was scheduled for Tuesday, March 23rd at 1:30pm. It is a little odd and exciting to wake up and know you are going to have a baby that day.

It is D-Day! John and I are about to leave for the hospital.

We came home from the hospital on Friday, March 26th. Here are a few pics from our first week as parents!
The first of thousands of diaper changes. We had to make a couple of emergency runs for diapers. We had NO idea how many we would go through in a day.
Mommy passed out with Grady! We weren't quite prepared for all the middle of the night feedings.
John and I had to get to the hospital 2 hours before the scheduled surgery. We thought we would be doing a lot of sitting around and waiting. We were prepared for a long two hours. As soon as we got checked in, they started all the prepping and we were meeting all the doctors and nurses. It was a total whirlwind and the two hours flew by. At one point, I looked at the clock and saw that it was already after 1pm, which made me super anxious. Our doctor walked into the operating room and asked if we were ready for a Birthday Party. Our doctor is known for fast deliveries so as John and I are just talking not realizing it was going to be so quick we hear the first cry. Very exciting! Here are some pics from Grady's Birthday!

My sister was working in Northern California the week Grady was born. She was suppose to have a quick layover in Phoenix before heading back to Dallas, but Aunt G couldn't stay away. Her layover turned into an overnight stay.

We cannot wait for you all to meet our new bundle of joy! Thanks for all the calls and good wishes. Grady is a lucky little boy to have such a great support system already.
