Melissa and I left for the hospital at 4:30 AM after Melissa woke up to find that her water had broke. The doctors determined that the baby was facing the wrong direction and if he remained that way labor would take a lot longer. After a few "bed gymnastics" the baby turned himself around and the labor process kicked into high gear immediately.
At 12:24 PM Melissa was asked to start pushing during contractions. It only took 17 minutes of pushing to bring Jordan into the world. Dr. Wolfe delivered Jordan at 12:41 PM. Melissa did an amazing job through out the whole process and made me a very proud husband and father.
The first 24 hours after Jordan's birth were spent gathering information from the doctors/nurses and most of all bonding with our son. We had many visitors, most notably Jordan's Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles all made it to the hospital to visit. He is a very welcomed addition to the entire family.
