🎉 I’ve been sooo quiet over here welp because...We welcomed James Bates into the world Wednesday night 5.19.21 at 8:11 pm!! 💙💙 He’s a little stinker at only 6lbs 8oz but tall at 20.5” and big ol’ feet! It was an extremely eventful day...I was admitted into labor and delivery after my scheduled appointment due to some mild concerns about his heart rate, stayed overnight and they induced me Wednesday morning, labored all day (got the GOOD drugs though), only to end the day with him making his appearance via csection because his head was too big and my pelvis bones are too oddly shaped and small for him!! And to add to the chaos of the day...I even closed on my house while 5cm dilated!! What a whirlwind!! 🤪 But baby is healthy and I’m doing just fine!!🙌🏻 He has his daddy’s eyes and lips...and his momma’s dimple chin!!
But mainly, we’re head over heels in love with this sweet miracle of life!! My heart could burst with how much he has changed me in the very short time I have known him! Meeting him was the happiest day of my life and one I’ll NEVER forget!! We adore you Baby Bates and can’t wait to see the adventures you bring us!! 💙💙💙
