Welcome McCall Henry Meece

6 pounds 5 ounces

We are all doing great! We ended up having a C-section because he was not responding to the contractions and the Dr. did not want to put him through anymore stress. Turns out he had his cord wraped around his neck and feet so we are glad that we went ahead with the section. My doctor was fantastic and made the entire situation perfect!!

Last night McCall slept in the nursery and came to see me every 3-3 1/2 hours for feeding. He is rooting, latching on, and eating great. The nurses said he slept the whole time between each feeding. What a great job McCall!!!

He has enjoyed meeting everyone so far and loves to have visitors!!! We are scheduled to go home on Sunday afternoon.

We are in the hospital and doing well. I am having contractions but he is showing no response so they are holding off on the induction for the night to limit any extra stress on him. (Can you tell that I am quoting stuff that I really don't understand?) Bottom line...all is healthy and well!! We will see where we stand in the morning! The doctors and nurses are great. We have a corner room (#10) and are enjoying dinner and the Braves game! Hopefully MHM will join us soon!

We are scheduled to be induced on Thursday AM (May 21) if Baby Meece does not decide to join us before!!! We will be at Greenville Memorial Hospital Labor and Delievery. We will keep the blog updated as well as send out emails and text when we can. Thanks for all of your love, prayers, and support. Mommy and Daddy cannot wait to meet Baby Meece!!!

Scott and Kaci completed the Marathon running across the finish line!! Wow, we are so proud! Thanks to Meredith Swilley and Gram, Baby Meece was able to chase them all over Downtown Nashville!!

Mommy, Daddy, Baby Meece, Gram, and Aunt Kaci are off to Nashville tomorrow (April 24) for the Country Music Marathon. Baby Meece is proud of Daddy and Aunt Kaci for training so hard and running on Saturday. He hopes to watch the race from Mommy's belly and not be born @ Vanderbilt!

Below are pics of the completed nursery. It only needs a baby!!!!

APRIL UPDATE!! ANYTIME NOW!!!

After a few days in the hospital in March with preterm labor contractions I am back to work and doing well. Baby Meece, who is now known as MHM (his surprise initials) or Crew (cousin Thomas's nickname for him) is measuring over 4 pounds with a perfect heartbeat. The doctors are ready for him to come anytime from NOW to MAY 28. He has enjoyed many great showers given by friends and family and he is so happy with his new clothes, toys, and necessities!! Mommy and Daddy are ready for him when he is ready! MHM is very proud of his Daddy and Aunt Kaci who are preparing for the Country Music Marathon April 25!
