So here is the story. Kara woke up around 4:30 in the morning on Saturday, Feb 20th, and noticed she was having real contractions, not just the Hicks. She wasn’t sure how serious to take it, because of a few false alarms as few weeks earlier. But around 8 she said let’s get the hospital.
As soon as I walked in after parking the car, she was grinning ear to ear … “6 to 7 centimeters.” For those of you who haven’t done this birth thing in a while, that is medical jargon for “the baby is coming.” And compared to having Mason, who took nearly 20 hours of hard labor before reaching 2 or 3 centimeters, we were already nearly at the finish line.
Kara did beautifully. No medicine. She didn’t even discuss it.
In what felt like a fairly short 4 and 1/2 hours, she was giving birth to Sawyer Alexander. He was healthy and beautiful.
A few hours after birth they noticed him grunting a little and then a nurse witnessed him stop breathing for around a minute, so they took him down to be monitored in the ICU. Over the night they extracted some “goo” from his stomach which they thought might be causing some choking. All the doctors are positive towards his health, but hey will be holding him for a few days to get back a few tests.
I’m no medical person and have no education to back my firm confidence that he’s going to be just fine … but I’m confident and excited.
We’ll update later. Thanks to everyone praying. This was such a different delivery and for that we are so thankful.

We working down our nesting checklist. Looking our about 5 weeks – Sawyer is due March 6 – and getting ourselves ready for the next big life change.
Kara’s last day at work is tomorrow and then she begins the “Stay at home mom” season of her life. We’re very excited. We’ve been working towards it for a while.
