Ian Is Here!!!

Ian Bruce Hawks. 7 Lbs. 1 Ounce. 20 Inches Long



Traci went into Mckay Dee Hospital On October 30th at 7 am. We got all the paper work done, and then they started to induce her at about 830 am. Then the waiting game began. Traci's mom and I were just waiting there in the room with her. I was pretty nervous. I didnt know what to expect obviously. Then the contractions began, and the pain started to come really bad for her. So then they brought in someone to save her lol. The Dr. to give her the epideral. So that was an experience to see that be administered. After that the pain wasn't to bad she said. Then from 1230 to 130 pm, she went from a 5 dialated to a 9 in a hour. So she was moving fast. Then at 230 pm she was at a 10. Then at around 245 she started to push. She was doing awesome. Then about after an hour of pushing they sent for the doctor. Our regular Doctor was out of town so we had Dr. Seale. He came in right in time to catch Ian at 356 pm. Little Ian Bruce Hawks was born!!! I thought I wasnt going to make it seeing all the blood and all the stuff happening, but boy was I wrong. It really was a very spiritual experience. It was really a miracle to have a child come into the world. I was so so so happy. I did have quit a few tears in that room. The spirit was very strong there. I ll never forget the experience. It was great to hear him cry a little bit. He is very healthy and happy for the most part. It was the best feeling to hold him for the first time. I brought him right over so Traci could hold him. It was so neat to see her hold our little boy. Traci did such an awesome job. She sacrificed so much. I loved seeing our little family grow. Ian is doing great!! We came home today. We were in the hospital for 2 nights. Life is great!!!
