Gordon Douglas Petry has arrived!!!!!

Gordon Douglas Petry - born June 16, 2009 at 12:57PM. Our little fellow weighed 8lbs and 10.5oz and was a long 22 and a half inches at birth, with a head circumference of 14 inches (got that from Mom & Dad).

We checked in to the hospital at midnight on Tuesday, June 16th. Cathy received two doses of gel to help soften her cervix (one at 1AM and another at 4AM). By shortly after 4AM, contractions had picked up in frequency and intensity and we started to make progress with dilation. Around 6:30AM the epidural was able to be administered. Dr. Anderson decided to break the water at about 10AM and by 11AM we were ready to push. After about two hours our little man greeted us.

We're thrilled he is finally here!!!!!

Here's a picture of Gordon shortly after he was born.
