Sleepy time
Mommy and Easton 
First bath! Soon after he peed on daddy!
Few minutes after born.
Looking good for no sleep in over 21 hours!Easton Thomas Hemmah is finally here. He didn't come without a fight. Katy's water broke around 9:00am on Tuesday morning (3/8). I received a call regarding the exciting news and left work right away. When I got home Katy had called the hospital and they said that we needed to come in. We packed up our gear and headed to the hospital. We settled into the hospital around 10:30am and Katy was examined. They had advised us that we were staying and having a baby today! How excited were we!!! How wrong were they. :( Katy pretty much started having contractions right away. She did it without any medication until about 4pm. At 4pm she had to have an epidural as the contractions were extremely painful. At that time she was about 3cm dilated as well. It was not until about 1am on Wednesday that she was dilated to 6cm. It was extremely painful getting there. Every couple hours Katy had to have a "booster" pain medication as the epidural was not working to well. Being that Katy was 6cm dilated the expectation was that the final 4 cm would go much quicker. Unfortunately that was not the case. Again Katy was a trooper and fought through the pains and would be checked every hour or two to see what progress was being made. She was not moving though. She stayed at 6/7cm dilation until about 4:30am and that is when it was decided a C-Section would have to be done. Katy was ready to get Easton out. She fought a tough fight and we are very proud of her. We got into the operating room at about 5:15am on Wednesday and Easton was born at 5:42am! Still, he did not come without a fight. From Katy being in labor for so long, Easton was down and lodged in there. The Doctor had to muscle him out of there. At one point he was leaning all the way onto Katy's face trying to get leverage. Finally he was tugged out of there! Katy did wonderful through the entire pregnancy and C-Section. I am very proud of her. We tried getting some sleep at about 9am on Wednesday but the excitement of Easton was to much. Neither Katy or I could sleep much. We appreciate everybody's love and support we have received. And I am extremely proud of Katy! She was quite the trooper! Oh and of course Easton peed on me the first chance he had!!!
Stats:
Easton is 7lbs 14ounces. He measured at 20.5 inches. He has a descent amount of hair on him as well. There appears to be a mullet in the works!
