Special Delivery (brought to you by the letter C)

Well folks we want to you all to say hello to the newest member of our clan, Addisyn Trelauny Workman. She weighs in at 6 lbs. 14 oz. and has her fathers brains to accompany her mothers good looks. Let the record show she was born on the 12th of September 2008 at 5:15 pm. Here's how it all broke down. Thursday night at around 9:15 Melanie had a little "water damage." After consulting with the hospital we decided that we would monitor her through the night. other than contractions every 15 minutes not much was happening. So at 8:30 in the morning we called the clinic and they had us go in for a quick check up. The first test showed no signs of amniotic fluis leakage. However, the doc wanted to double check it with an ultrasound. Good thing he did cause we noticed right away that there was hardly any fluid at all. So the next thing we know is we are admitting her to labor and delivery. That all got started about 9:30 a.m. At around 4:00 p.m. the doc came in to check on her and despite having worked so hard all day with contractions she wasn't dialating. at this point because the baby was already overdue coupled with the fact that there was no dialation we had to proceed with a C-Section. Melanie was fabulous!!! I was able to be in there and watch the surgery so I can now say I love her guts! A few minutes later there she was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The sad part is that it has now been almost 15 hours since delivery and mom has still not seen nor held the little angel. In fact she has only seen as much as you have with these pics. The reason for this is that because of the stress of the labor the baby inhaled some fluids into her lungs and she has been in the nursery getting treatment. Nothing too scary, but definitely needed to be taken care of. I truly am the luckiest guy in the world. I've got 2 great girls. What else matters?
