Grisham's Birth Story

In case you never got to see this, Aaron wrote the story of Grisham's birth from Grisham's point of view. I came across it on the site that we used to have. You can check out that site if you want to take a look back. It's https://www.babyhomepages.net/littlemelon/stories.php

Here is the story that Aaron wrote. I'm so glad he wrote it because you forget details so quickly.

Man, what a crazy trip it was coming into this world. All week long mom was walking around trying to get me to come out. She kept drinking this funny tasting tea, but that didn't help, it just made us tired. On July 26, we went to the mall to walk around some more. We ate some tasty pretzels, walked around Dick's Sporting Goods, then decided to walk through Sears. Right after we walked in Daddy joked around and told Mommy to jump up and down. She didn't do it because she didn't want to hurt me so we all kept walking. A couple seconds later I heard a pop, then Mommy said, "I think my water broke." Daddy ran to the counter and asked where the bathroom was. Mommy ran to the bathroom. She hasn't moved that fast since we went to Great Wolf Lodge 8 months ago. As soon as she got into the bathroom my room drained of all the water and I started falling down. Some nice lady made sure Mommy was ok, then we rushed out to meet Daddy at the car. We went and picked up my clothes and some stuff for my big brother to play with, then we raced to the hospital. When we got there my room started getting smaller and Mommy kept squeezing me. It made me very tired and the nurse said that my heart rate was going down. Mommy didn't want to take any medicines because she did not want to hurt me, so she kept squeezing me trying to get me out even though it hurt her a lot. She is so brave. Daddy kept rubbing her shoulders and telling her to relax and breathe. His job was easy. I really wanted to see Mommy and Daddy and big brother Gavin, but I couldn't come out. I kept getting tired while Mommy kept trying to get me out. The doctor came in and told Mommy to push, but if she couldn't push me out in 3 tries, we were going to have to go to the OR, whatever that is. That scared Mommy and Daddy. We had to go there and Mommy was very scared. The doctors cut her belly and said that my cord was wrapped around my neck 3 times. I think that is why I kept getting tired. They pulled me out and cut the cord and then I started crying real loud. They said "it's a he" real loud, then Daddy started yelling about him and Mommy having a son. Mommy and Daddy cried when they heard me crying because they were so happy, and then I got to see Daddy. He was so happy to see me, and I was so happy to see him, but they wouldn't let Mommy hold me yet which made us all sad. I got to see Mommy, but she couldn't hold me, then Daddy took me to meet my big brother Gavin. He really liked seeing me and was very happy. After that he took me to a room where they poked me, and weighed me, and measured me. They said I was 6 pounds and 6 ounces, and was 18 inches long. That part wasn't very fun. One hour later I finally got to see Mommy. I was so happy to see her. I love her and am so happy that she is my mommy. She is a great and beautiful mom.
