Monday the 9th was a blur of ups and downs but thankfully if I had to say something great about the whole thing it would be that Shakobe 's heart rate stayed so strong and perfect through the whole long must I say painful process. Skipping to the Grand Finale our beautiful baby boy decided it was time to enter the world on Tuesday May 10th at 3:47 a.m.! 8 pounds 8 ounces 21 inches long. He is such an amazing baby words can not express how happy we are. Because of the long labor and the fact that I ended up with a fever towards the end; Shakobe ended up in the nicu for what we were told would possibly be a week because he had a slight temperature which could be from an infection. Me and Gregg impatiently waited to here results from his labs. Someone upstairs was looking over him because what was suppose to be at least 48 hours turned into two maybe three hours and he was back in our room with us.
I cant end this post without thanking our families for being so completely amazing staying at the hospital waiting for our little guy to come. I cant express my gratitude to my sisters for coming into my room and showing there support and even making me laugh about the whole thing. They even brought there kids which I love so much and was so glad they were there for me even though they couldn't come see me. And I have to say thank you to My dad and Greggs dad for giving me a blessing when Gregg asked for it. They all found uncomfortable spots to spend the night and waited til he finally made it us. Love you all for staying next to the door or next to the phone to show your love and support to our new little family. It makes me so emotional to say that I'm so so happy shakobe has such an amazing family behind him. Love you, now what you have been waiting for an overload of pictures!!! Going to begin with my favorite picture Daddy and Shakobe sleepin at the hospital. You will also notice a picture of him with his cousin Kynlee. I know what your thinking and its true she is two weeks older. lol, love our little guy!!
