Cragun Wesley McNeill
Cragun Wesley McNeill joined our family July 29, 2009, at 6:26 pm. He weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long. It was a long emotional day for me and I experienced a lot of "firsts" but I wouldn't trade it for the world (as most mothers would say). We arrived at the hospital at 6:00 am to get set up for my induction. I was 39 wks. and 1 day gestation and very ready to have this baby. Dr. Roger Smith arrived around 7, discussed a few things then placed the Cytotec (a pill they put on the cervix to help "ripen" it). I have had Cytotec with both girls, so I pretty much knew what to expect. Wait, wait, wait, OK we are ready to push. Well, we did a short trial run at "pushing" and decided to have Dr. Smith come and see if we were making any progress. No progress, but his left hand was coming out:) Yep, this little guy was going to make things a little more difficult. Not really a big deal. Let's see if he will still come out. Push some more. No progress. Going to try and get the hand back in there so there is more room for his head. OUCH!! But it's back in there. Push some more. No progress. Must be coming slightly sideways? Wait, wait, wait, OK now let's push some more. No progress (surprise, surprise). Long story short, going in for C-Section see ya in a half hour. Wow, BIG boy, could've been pushing all night and still wouldn't have fit!! Yay!! It's over and we are all tired and sore. But, we are all getting rest and recovering very well. Why do men have to be so difficult:) LOL- What a journey!!

Ooooh, he is so cute! That seems like such a difficult way to get such a wonderful addition! I am totally so jealous! He is sooo cute! Congrats!!
He is so cute and he is a big boy!! I know because Aleck was that big and I am just glad for scheduled c-section! I don't know how anyone can push out such a big baby--too bad they didn't know sooner so you didn't have to go through all of that. I am so glad both of you are doing well. You look great in that picture by the way!
Congratulations! He's beautiful! Like you look like that after labor! I swear I'm the only one who looks like a train wreck after giving birth!!!! You look amazing! I'm so happy for you.
