Our baby boy finally made it. We are happy to introduce Drake Reeves Sanchez. He was born April 17th at 8:45 am. He weighed 9 lbs 10 oz and was 21.5 inches long. It wasn't easy getting the little guy here. We tried an induction on the 14th with no luck, just a lot of PAIN!!!!! He was a stubborn boy and was going to come on his own time. After about 2 days of contractions I decided it was time to go back to the hospital to see if we had made any progress. We got there on April 17th at about 1:00am. I was dilated to a 7! That was great news. Within a couple of hours I was fully dilated but the baby was way to high to start pushing. There was a lot of talk regarding a c-section which made me a little nervous. All it took was me repositioning and it was time to push. It took a good hour and a half of pushing to get Andre here. With Drake I pushed for about 4 or 5 minutes and our little guy was here, Healthy as can be. Andre LOVES his little brother. On a regular basis I hear "My brother is so cute." He is a great helper. My sister Cara was able to be here for the birth. She was HUGE help. She spent most of her time taking care of Andre but we were to lucky to get to have her at the hospital for the birth. We appreciate her so much and are so grateful for all of her help and support. We have settled in to our family of 4 nicely. I am enjoying my time off with my boys. I put up a few pics of Andre when he was little. They look like brothers! Life is really good.
