I'm gonna post some pictures soon, but I wanted to share these two videos which I really enjoyed this week.
The first is a clip I shot about 5 minutes after Peyton was born. Jaynah had the C-section and after the baby was born, I had to accompany the nurse to the recovery room so that she could get the baby all cleaned up, put a tag on the baby, a tag on me so there would be no switch-a-roo, as well as get the baby's weight and measurements, etc. The cool thing was that someone had taken all the stuff the nurse needed out of the recovery room and so while she went and gathered everything, Peyton and I had several minutes, just to ourselves, to get introduced.
*I had been up for over 36 hours straight and so my days were confused. Peyton was born on 5/20/09.
Next, my brother had been following Twitter since we'd gotten to the hospital, and decided that I needed some support since we hadn't made it to the "birthing class" prior to Peyton's arrival. He put together 3 videos of tips for a successful delivery and sent them to my phone. Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen besides SNL's DIAB, and ML.
Thanks brother. He and his wife also totally surprised us showing up to the hospital right after the baby was born. He'd originally fed me lies about he had to work yada, yada, which was totally fine, however we were so excited to see them.
More to come, hope everyone is well, and thank you again for all of your love, gifts, support, prayers, and encouragement, not only during the birth, but throughout the whole pregnancy.
THANK YOU!
Loving it.

Andrew, for the record Ben and Brittney were so excited... Brittney sent me a text message the minute they found out that little Peyton was here "I HAVE A NEW NIECE!!!" was the exact message I believe:) Congrats to you and Jaynah!!!

hey andrew! thanks for the encouragement- it's been a crazy path traveled thus far- and this year will only bring more adventures! We're definately so blessed for the opportunities though and love where God has put us- we know we are where we need to be!
Congrads to you as well- we were actually at your graduation and I saw/said hi to Jaynah! My sister in law graduated from OT school (she'll officially be done in July).
Anyways- Peyton is precious. Good luck as you start residency! Craziness! :)
