Nolan is here and we are so in love already! On Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment. I was having a headache and blood pressure was high, so my doctor had me do some bloodwork. Chuche and I got home at around 12:15, then got the call at 4 with the doctor saying protein was high in my blood. Since the baby was already 38 weeks, he decided to induce, to lessen the risk. So at 6 pm on the 29th, Chuche and I were heading to the hospital. They started one medicine at 8 that night, but things didn't really start moving until the next day. At around 10 the next morning, they started the pitocin to start the contractions. 2 epidurals, the doctor bursting the water, and a very long night later, Nolan Antonio Cervantes made his arrival at 8:19 am! He is a healthy 8 pounds, 20.5 inches long, and has his daddy's ears! We are so grateful for all the family and friends who gave us support in so many ways! Here are some of the family visitors.

Unfortunately, Uncle E drove all the way to Champaign, but Nolan decided to wait until after Uncle E had to go back to Bloomington to work. But Nolan got to meet his Uncle E and Aunt Carrie this weekend :) However, he also got diagnosed with a high level of bilirubin, so instead of hanging out with them, and Aunt Lori and Memaw, Nolan spent some time tanning under UV lights to help break up the bili levels.

The tanning helped and Nolan and I came home on Saturday!
