Friday evening Meredith told us that she was being admitted for an induction - as I like to say "jump start".
But she went into labor on her own Saturday morning and while she did go to appointment on Saturday 9.14, her labor was well-established.
The nurse started the "jump start" and then about 6 hours later a little epidural to help mom with the intense contractions. About 5 hours later the water needed to be broken as baby loved the Miami Beach womb - 98 degrees with a little wave. Only then did baby decide to show interest in arriving - finally started to thin and dilate.
At 3:45 p.m. on September 15, 2013, Zane Benjamin Edwards was born to Meredith Miller Edwards and Benjamin Edwards.
Grampa and I arrived later and we are so proud of Meredith and Ben!! There was also Maw Maw Debbie and some of the Edwards family. Little did we know that Aunt Carly made it all the way to the hospital from Wilmington.
And then the moment arrived. I fell in love with another man - Zane is the most handsome baby I have ever met. All 8 lbs 4 oz and 21.25 of him. What a fantastic experience to hold you!!
When you came home on Tuesday, you were already holding your head up and rolling on your side. Well, you were already grown -- 2 weeks old by that time.
Zane -- we are all so in love with you.!!!
