Barry Douglas Warner

So here we are. Too much going on, but now there is a small lull before dinner, so i sit here with the little man ti tell you the tale.

HARD LABOR. It was hands down the worst delivery of the three. Bree started at about 8 in the morning with a pill that was to soften her cervix. She was about 13 minutes apart for the first couple of hours, then snapped to 3 minutes. She went from a 1-2 to a 6 in about 3 hours. Spirits were high and we were sure that within a few seconds we would be holding the little stud-muffin.

Instead things stopped and Bree went through 6 hours of intense labor fighting for every centimeter after that. She didn't get any real pain relief until about 9:00 that night. She slept for a minute then started the pushing after the 3 hours of very intense contractions.

About 11 the medicine wore off, and Barry was stuck. (see shoulders and head above for visual help as to why). Long and painful story short, Bree did the most amazing showing of strength, determination and stamina that I have ever witnessed. She endured the most pain and frustration that I have ever heard of, and came out a champion. (even with a 24 hour labor of Hallie and a natural childbirth with Annie). Nothing too much can be said for what she has done to get this little guy here.

As you can see he is adorable and pretty dang well loved. When his eyes are open he looks shockingly like my little brother Regan. I will post a comparative picture set later.

He was officially was born at 11:34 PM on the 12th. 7 lbs 15oz and 20 inches long.

Thank you all for your calls and texts and things. We feel surrounded by you even though you aren't super close. I did real well on my tests , and am selfishly asking you to keep praying for us through the next week as we are adjusting and taking finals and such.

Thank you all and we lo
