Congratulations Brian, Mary & Sophia on the new addition to your (our) family!
I'm filling in for Steve here, as he is away on business in Seattle. I'm sure that he'll have more to contribute upon his return! But, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting this lil' guy yet - I thought I'd give ya a "sneak peek"! As you can see from the pic, he was very alert and doing great at less than an hour old. I was amazed at how active and strong he already is!
So... Mary (and Bri) left for the hospital last night around 10:45pm, hoping that it was the "real deal". After several long nights of contractions and no sleep, we were saying a prayer that she had progressed enough that she'd get admitted! Yea... an hour later she called to say that this was it - they were having a baby!
Unfortunately, after the epidural, Mary's labor stalled through the night and little progress was made. Still, with blood pressure cuffs going up and down, IV's beeping, nurses coming and going, the anxiety of waiting, and pitocin induced contractions - sleep was not on the menu! By mid-morning they broke her water and things picked up from there. By 11:45 we got the call that she was approaching the final stages, and we should head up. Almost an hour later Mary and Brian got to finally hear, "It's a BOY"!
I was on my way to the hospital when "Mak" made his entrance; so, I got to hear the news from proud big sister Sophia, "Aunt Jamey, I have a baby Mak"! Minutes later I was falling in love with another Koralewski baby... in the same exact room where I delivered Gracie exactly one year and one day ago...CRAZY!
Brian & Mary are really excited for all of you to meet little Mark! She'll be at Toledo Hospital until Wednesday.
