Cayson Blake is here!

Cayson was actually born Monday, November 3rd. I started having contractions around 8:30 pm Sunday night. We got to the hospital around 12:30 am and he was born Monday afternoon at 12:57 pm. We almost didn't go in because I seriously thought it was all in my head since I couldn't believe he was going to be born on his due date. Our nurse told us only 3% of babies are actually born on their due dates with natural labor so I thought it was kind of neat. Anyways, Josh made me go. He called our doctor and she told us to come on in. I was so afraid they were going to send us home and I was going to look stupid, but nope he was born a little over 12 hours after we got to the hospital. He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 19 inches long. We had some little problems. My blood pressure dropped at one point to 80/50 and I had to wear an oxygen mask for several hours. I then got a fever and they had to start antibiotics. When he was born he had swallowed lots of amniotic fluid so I didn't even get to hold him for like an hour after he was born because they were trying to get it all out. Because of whatever was going on with me Cayson got an infection and our expected short stay in the hospital turned into almost a week long stay, so Cayson could be given antibiotics through an iv. We got to leave Saturday morning and have had a nurse come to our house to finish the antibiotics. She finished this morning and I'm so glad. My little man has been through so much since he's been born and I'm just ready to get into a routine. It was so hard being in the hospital for so long. I felt fine so I was ready to leave Tuesday morning, but ended up being discharged Wednesday. However, the hospital was nice enough to let me stay in my room the whole time Cayson was there. It was rough because I was bored and couldn't leave the room or they wouldn't hold my room and it would have been so much worse to come home without my baby, but everyone is doing great now and I'm so thankful! He is such a great baby. We have yet to really hear him cry. He's just so content and we are enjoying him so much. I don't even like to put him down. He's a bit spoiled because my mom was here pretty much all week and then my grandparents came down so he has been held pretty much 24/7 since he was born. Oh, and we decided to change the spelling from Cason to Cayson. Dh decided that he liked the y in it better.
Here are some pictures of our sweet baby boy!
