Precious Parker Arrives!!!!

Introducing Parker Graham Felsher! Wow, what a night! His journey began around 6pm last night (Monday) when he decided to let his mommy know that he was READY...forget that Wednesday induction stuff! My sister could not get a hold of her husband (who was at a Haley Barber fundraiser), so at 7pm she realized Parker would not wait for his Daddy, so she called a friend and they headed to the hospital. The nurses checked her and to everyone's surprise she was dialated to 7-8 cm! (first baby keep in mind and 38 1/2 wks) My parents and myself hit the road down to Biloxi, and John, her husband, was hunted down! Text messages were being sent like crazy and phone calls were being made, but most of all PRAYERS were being lifted up!! She received her epidural at 9cm dialated, then at 10:12pm, Parker Graham Felsher entered the world via c-section and both Mommy and Precious were doing great! I arrived at 10:40pm to locked doors and only the 'cooky' ER to enter and running frantically around the hospital to find my sister. I finally stumbled upon some familiar faces that shouted...."Mommy this way.....Baby that way!" I had to choose which way to go and who to see first! I had to see my sister! I ran as fast as I could and she had just been sewn up and taken to recovery and I was able to be with her!! When I entered her 'cubby' tears began to flow from both sisters!!! I stayed for a few minutes as she gave me the 'low down' then I heard laughter in the hallway, saying "Does she know that the BABY is here?? Doesn't she want to see the baby?" And then someone said, "I guess that's just that sister bond." I, then, went to see such a precious sight....John and baby Parker in the nursery! Oh, how beautiful Parker is!! I just love this little guy already!! God is soooo good and his timing WAS just perfect! My parents arrived at 1:30am this morning from New Albany and couldn't head to my sister's house until they 'got their hands on him'. I was so excited to stay with Alison & Parker last night in the hospital. (I told John to go home & get some sleep) What a blessing it was to be able to share in her joy!!! I am so proud of her and how "smooth" she handled everything! She is such a trooper! I love you sister!!
