The bean's on his way...ALREADY?!?!

When we woke up in the morning I again was having some cramping along with some other signs of labor.  We decided calling the doctor would be smart.  She assured us that everything seemed normal and that my body was definitely getting ready to have this baby.  She said it sounded like he didn't want to wait a whole month to meet us and we would probably be having a baby by the end of the week!
I decided that going gym this morning was probably not a good idea.
I started to pack a bag, just in case, while Jason headed to the gym...with his phone.  Within minutes of him leaving my water broke! Jason came home we called the hospital and off we went! They ran some tests when we got there to confirm it was my water that broke and told us that the bean would be coming today!  Because he was still breech I would have to have a c-section. Many other babies were being born this morning, so we had to wait and wait and wait!  We spent about 4 hours in triage calling and texting friends and family with the big news, it all seemed so surreal.  We also had to decide on a name...

Finally at about 12:30 the anesthesiologist came in to meet us, he told me the lower back pain I was having was indeed contractions and they were about 3 minutes apart at this point.  They took us upstairs, while they prepped me for surgery, the proud daddy to be had to prepare as well.
Once we were in the room it seemed like minutes and our little bundle arrived! 
 Quinten Kurash Kusheba was born at 1:33 pm he weighed 5 lbs. 5 oz. and was perfect in every way!

As soon as Grandma and Grandpa Kurash heard the baby was on his way, so were they!
Grandma Jeanne stayed at our house while we were at the hospital to take care of Callie our dog other baby and have an easier trip back and forth to the hospital.

We found out that I had a septum in my uterus and that was why Quinten was born at 36 1/2 weeks.
His sugar levels were low and daddy was pretty much thrown a bottle to give him as soon as he came out.
Quinten was able to stay with us in recovery but since he was late preterm, the nurses had to monitor him until his sugar level came up some.
He was a good eater right from the start and was able to be in our room by 11:00pm  the first night!
The three of us slept very good that first night!
The second night was a little tougher, 
Quinten had already realized he much rather be held than sleep in his crib:)
