02-13-08

Some reflections from Dad...What an awesome day yesterday! Truly a gift from the Lord. Laura Ann and Vince both did great. Things were a bit delayed at the hospital yesterday so things did not get started until around 12:35 or so. Laura was a trooper although she got really nervous, which is easy to understand. I was in the OR with Laura and stayed after they took Vince to the nursery. Where he was visited by our friends Bobby Pope and Jay Stroman. Laura and I were still in the OR so we missed their visit, but they were able to see Vince through the window.

After recovery, Laura was brought to the room and we had our first visitor, our friend Roger Murphey, who was the first visitor when Savannah was born as well! They brought Baby Vince into the room in his full Alabama attire, hat, outfit and booties…ROLL TIDE! That was an unexpected surprise that Laura Ann cooked up with Dr. Pridgen’s help before yesterday. He was wonderful in the room, sleeping a lot but he was wide awake when his big sister Savannah came to meet him for the first time. That time was truly another awesome time. G-Mama took some video and Aunt Katie took some pictures, so we are looking forward to seeing and posting more of those.

Right now there is no internet connection at the hospital at all for patients, so we have to use our phones for pictures to get posted quickly. I am going to see if can get something worked out today with our cell phone working with the computer, if so, Laura Ann will be able to check email and post some pictures and information to the blog today. The plan is for Laura and Vince to be in the hospital through Friday or Saturday.

Thank you for all of the calls, emails, thoughts, and prayers. It is great to have a network of support of family and friends that we have. More updates very soon, please keep checking back.
