Welcome Maximus Ryan Hoose!
Welcome to the world Max!
Maximus Ryan Hoose was born on December 6, 2011 at 6:33 pm. He weighed 8.1 pounds and measured 21". Yes, his original weight was recorded as 8.6 pounds, but that was corrected later on...silly hospital.
A little background on Max's birth.
Mom and Dad checked into the hospital on Monday, December 5 for induction. Induction started at 7pm and Mom started having contractions right away. After about 24 hours of contractions with labor progressing nicely, Mr. Max just did not want to drop. About an hour after Mom received the epidural, Max's little heart rate dropped and it was decided that a c-section was the best way to get him out safely.
A good decision by the doctors.
When Max was born, it was discovered that the cord was wrapped around his neck twice and there was a knot in the cord. It is refered to as a true knot and this only happens in 1-3% of births. If Max dropped in the womb and I attempted to deliver him he may not have made it :( Thank goodness for the Doctor making the call to take him out when they did, he was so very healthy when he was born!
Mom and Dad spent the next 5 days in the hosiptal getting to know Max and healing from surgery and got to go home on Friday, December 9 just two days before our 1-year wedding aniversary...what a wonderful way to celebrate! Max even let Mom and Dad enjoy a nice lobster and steak dinner on their anniversary by sitting quietly in his swing next to us.
My Mom came to visit for a few days while Ryan went back to work, and thank goodness she came because I can't thank her enough for all the help. I couldn't have made it through the first week without her. She is the best Grammy...sharing the title with Oma of course ;)
Below are some of our favorite pictures so far. I will do my best to keep up with the blog!
