We welcomed Austin James Redhair into the world on Wednesday December 1, 2010 at 610am. He weighed 8 lbs 6 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long. We had gone in Tuesday night to be induced and a little after 5 in the morning the doctor came in to break my water and said that his hand was above his head and that if he didn't put it down they would have to do a c-section. After breaking my water my placenta started separating and they were having trouble finding Austin's heartbeat. So we were rushed in for an emergency c-section and I had to be put to sleep. Once he was out he was doing awesome, I didn't get to meet my little man until he was 3hrs old so daddy was the first to get to know him. It was scary but we are both doing well.
Aubry is so in love with her baby brother, she helps feed him and reads stories to him when he is fussy. It took a week or so to adjust to having another one in the family but things are pretty much back to normal now. Austin is a good baby and settling down into a routine.
Joey is still going through his medical retirement and we were told 2 weeks ago that he will be out of the military in 6 to 9 months. It will be a big adjustment for all of us but we are excited for what the future holds. We have opted not to have a third surgery on his leg at this time because we were told there was a 50/50 chance that it would help but that there was a 50/50 chance that it could make the leg worse.
We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!!
I didn't know it until after Kira was born, but her head and hand came out together. I thought that was kind of weird, but I guess some babies like their hands up. I hope you guys had and great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
