Parker Aaron Chappell was born at 11:01pm last night (7.15.10) weighing 9 lbs 11 oz, measuring 22 and 3/4 inches long. This will be kind of a short update type posting. I'm sure Lauren will post her thoughts later on, but I wanted to get all the important info out to everyone asap. Lauren was in labor all day yesterday, and started pushing around 7:30pm. After pushing for 2.5 hours, the Doctor decided that a C-Section was our best option. Both Lauren and Parker are doing great now. We got settled into our room around 3am, and are incredibly tired.
Lauren is absolutely exhausted, and will need to focus on recovering over the next few days. Our Doctor advised us last night to limit visits over the next couple of days, so we are asking that friends hold off on coming to see us at the hospital for now. We will let folks know when Lauren feels up to it.
Thank you all for your prayers and support over the past few days. Here are a few pictures of our new son and incredible journey last night!
Congrats guys!!! Can't wait to meet him, he is precious!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Chapps Family and welcome PAC!! Wishing Lauren a speedy recovery. Poor thing is probably exhausted... PAC is quite a BIG boy and sounds like he put mommy through a lot over the last few days. Enjoy your time in the hospital. Both of you look like such naturals holding that beautiful little boy. Best wishes!
