He's here!!
Graham Charles Parnell finally made his debut at 2:30 today! We came to the hospital around 11 to be induced. Our good friend Daniel Runkle was on call so he was very attentive and gave me a GREAT epidural! It was amazing - couldn't feel the contractions or anything. They broke my water at 1:00 and I started contracting pretty quickly. My nurse came to "check me" at 2:00 and I was already completely dilated and ready to push! WHOO-HOO! After about 15-20 minutes of pushing, Brent delivered our second son. He was a whole pound heavier then our other 2 - weighing in at 7 lbs, 13 oz. His hair seems a little darker but other than that, I have no clue if he looks like either of them. They have him back in the nursery right now for his first bath and assessment. Mom and Mike are bringing the kids up in just a little bit to meet their little brother. Ill get some pictures posted as soon as I can! Thanks for your prayers...
