The arrival of Brik Walter Glover

 We arrived at Mayo around midnight on Friday, January 25th. Everything progressed very quickly.  By 6am the bright lights were turned on and I had 5 docs standing in front of me.

 After 20 minutes of pushing, the told me to reach down and grab my baby!!

Chad did the honors of telling me that the baby was a boy. I couldn't believe it! I just wanted to hold him and never let go! The nurses took him quickly to the other side of the room because he had swallowed fluid. He recovered quickly and the nurses reassured me that he was healthy.

I just laid there and took in everything that was going on. 12 doctors and nurses in our room was how many I counted. And it amazed me that they all were calm and did what they needed to.

By 730 the room was quiet and it was just Chad, Brik, and I. Chad was giving Brik his first bottle. I just laid there and smiled....best site ever!


Chad did all the phone calls while I slept. Chad and I both had been up for pretty much 24hours. By 930 we were moved to our permanent room and got settled in.
