Introducing Drake William Broffitt

Dan and I arrived at the hospital shortly after 5:00am on December 9th. Sylvia and Erickson spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's so we could go out to dinner and get a good night's sleep. During dinner we discussed baby names. We weren't yet decided on a girl's name or a boy's middle name. Here's one last pregnant shot taken early Friday morning.
After meeting all the hospital folks and being prepped for surgery we waited around for surgery time. Dr. Wenzel asked before delivering if I thought it was a boy or a girl, and I said I would be more surprised if it was a girl. From what I understand, surgery went well although Dr. Wenzel did have to make a bigger incision due to scar tissue. It took a little longer than our previous two c-sections but we soon go to meet our new little boy. we were almost certain his first name would be Drake but we hadn't decided between our two middle names. He cried more than Sylvia and Eric.
Dr. Loeb brought him up for me to see right away before checking him out. He scored a 10 on his APGAR, weighed in at 9 pounds, 9.5 ounces and was 21 inches long. Dan stayed with me as they finished up surgery and we got to enjoy our little boy.
Drake William Broffitt letting out a big cry to let us know that he's here.
