He's Here!


Mannix Logan Garza
He was born May 1, 2009 at 4:45 pm. He weighed 7 lbs even and is 20.5 inches long! He is the most adorable person on this planet! We are so in love with our baby boy :D


 
I was induced on Wednesday April 29, 2009 because my AFI was low. I was put on Petossin at 12:00 midnight and didnt dilate much for the first 24 hours. They broke my bag of water on Friday, May 1st at 7:00 a.m. and I immediatly started dilating and contracting (very hard) I must say that I applaud any woman that delivers without Epidural! I really tried my best but I couldn't stand the pain. Well, by 3:00 pm I was dilated to a 10 and I started pushing at around 4:15. I was determined to get Mannix out fast so I could meet him and the nurse said "this usually takes anywhere from an hour to two hours" so I was prepared for the long haul. After just a few minutes of pushing I was ready to deliver! They called the Doctor and he came to the hospital and boom! Mannix was here at 4:45 pm :) Let me tell you, Isidro is the best labor partner EVER! He was a trooper throughout the whole thing!

Motherhood is a really wonderful feeling. You can only read and expect so much but when the time comes that he is finally here you sort of forget everything. Isidro has been by my side the whole time and I really appreciate what a wonderful father he is!

Congratulations, Amanda to you and Isidrio! Mannix is a cutie.
Enjoy your new found motherhood with all its ups and downs, of which you will have plenty over the next years ;o)
Hope you will keep this blog going so I can see how he will develop.
