James Beckham Burrup

Well, Beckham couldn't wait to be induced to come into this world. I was supposed to go in on Monday morning for an induction. As I was laying in bed anticipating the morning ahead of me, I felt a few pretty painful contractions. This was at about 11:30 pm. I got up to go get a drink of water and thought that my water had broke (it hadn't). When I got back in bed the contractions were unbearable and really close together. After about an hour of that, I woke Darren up and told him we need to hurry and get to the hospital. We checked in at 1:15 am and I told the nurse I wanted an epidural as soon as possible, which was all done at about 1:45am. At 2:15 my water broke on its own and then at 2:35 the nurse came to check on my progress and what do you know? It was time to start pushing. She called the doctor who got there at about 3:00 and Beckham was born at 3:11 am. He weighs 7 lbs 15 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long.We are home now and doing great. Although we were scheduleda week early, they think the due date was wrong and he was actually a week late. No wonder he was so big!! Crazy, but all is well and we are both doing great. Brinley is being a great big sister, although jealous at times. I was burping him this morning and she kept wanting me to put him in the swing so I could hold her. But overall I think she will adjust really well. We are just so happy to have a healthy little boy! I will post more pictures once I get them uploaded.
