Baby Oakey is finally here!

Today on October 24th, Camie gave birth to a healthy 7 lb 8 oz, 20 inch baby boy! We are in the finaly stages of choosing a name...by tomorrow we will have finalized. Sorry we are the worst decision makers ever! It all started Thursday night by eating a wonderful meal at Texas Roadhouse and then checked in at 9:00 P.M.

The nurse started the pletosum(?) at about 3:00 A.M. but she was only dialated to a two. At about Six they checked her again, but still not much progress. Finally around 12 noon, she was dialated to a 5. Thinking we would have plenty of time, Dave, Debbie and I went down the street to get lunch. After we finished eating, and Debbie was in line for some ice cream, I recieved a call from Camie saying she could have the baby any minute. So I literally yelled and Dave and Debbie saying we have to go. So we got in the car and made it back just in time. When I came into the room, she (Camie) was pushing and I could see the head! We didn't dare push til Dr. Nichols got here who was just down the hall. But there was what they call a "Code Pink" where a wrist band from a baby was misplaced so all the doors were locked and our Dr couldn't get through the door. Finally, a security officer heard the banging on the door and let him in. After Dr. Nichols got to our room, the baby was born after 2 big pushes. Way to go Camie!

He was born at 2:18 P.M., weighed 7lbs 8oz and measured 20 inches, which I think is about 2 inches shorter than what he really is. But he's healthy and has a cool birth mark on is right elbow. We will add more pictures as soon as possible!
