After a very long and complicated induction, fighting a fever and an infection, Tracy is finally at 7cm dialated and about to begin active labor bringing our beautiful son into the world. My wife has been a trooper, she has battled through a very difficult labor and I have a newfound respect for her through this.
I have to say, this day was absolutely impossible without the assistance at 2AM from both Missy and Neeners and an awesome visit from my friend Jack and his Wife Mike (and their little angel). Neeners and Missy came quick after a “she’s a 6cm scare” — but they knew questions to ask the nurses to make sure Tracy got the best care possible. Amazing.
I must say the care staff, nurses, doctors and everyone here are utterly amazing too. Even though we’ve had a difficult pregnancy, it has been made wonderful by the hearts of many.
I know the next few hours will print alot of uncertainty, alot of things that may be scary — I have a secret weapon to go with me and Aiden while Tracy recovers (a current NICU nurse that’s a friend). I want to say thank you for EVERYONE who has prayed and thought about my wife and son, and while I may be scared — I know that I have God and friends and family on my side.
To all the parents facing a difficult decision, this is worth it. You can overcome this. God is amazing.
Aiden, here you come son, I love you and I can’t wait to kiss your sweet little face
