Mattox Robert Holland

Mattox is here! Here is the story....On Monday (26th), the family got together to celebrate Granny's birthday. Right before we left, I had one contraction. I didn't really think anything about it because I had been having random contractions about once or twice a day for the last month. We got in the car and headed to Granny's house. About 20 minutes later I had another contraction (this one was a little stronger and made me start to get curious). About 15 minutes later, I had ANOTHER contraction and I decided not to eat anything, just in case I was destined to have a c-section that night. As the hour went on, my contractions went from 15 minutes apart to 10 minutes apart and getting pretty strong. David and I decided to go home and get ready to head to the hospital. By the time we got to the hospital, they were 3 minutes apart and I was dilated to a 5!! I was SHOCKED that it happened to fast. We got to the hospital around 7:00 and by 8:49, I had been prepped for a c-section and Mattox was BORN!! It all happened so fast! I guess Mattox didn't want to wait for the scheduled c-section the following morning.

Mattox was born at 8:49pm and weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long. We are doing great. The delivery was SO much better than my first c-section. I felt NOTHING! In fact, I David had to tell me when he was born, I didn't even realize he was out. My recovery was so much better too. I was up and walking around, taking a shower any changing diapers by the second day in the hospital.

Before the c-section...smiling through contractions.
