Kurt Brandon Bascom is here!

Kurt Brandon Bascom was born on August 4, 2006 at 8:21 a.m. He weighed in at 7 lbs 15.6 oz. and was 21 inches long. He came almost two weeks early. Lindsey had a value that was high on her last diabetes test. After another sonogram the specialist said that he was big enough. So we went and turned all the paperwork in to Lindsey's work at The Marriott Marquis Hotel, and went home to get the hospital bag. After waiting five and a half hours in the waiting room we finally got into a room at 7:30 on the 2nd of August. There we started two 12 hour drugs with an hour break inbetween each to start inducing. But due to a shortage of nurses at St. Luke's Roosevelt hospital, Lindsey wasn't getting the attention that she should have been, so her medicine was being increased every forty minutes rather than every 20. At about midnight on the 4th, they said if she didn't start dialating by 6:00 a.m. they would have to discuss our options which would only be a C section. Thank goodness she started dialating a couple hours later. And at 8:21 Kurt was born!
