Around 11:35 we arrived at the hospital for our scheduled 1:30 c-section. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes only to have a nurse introduce herself to us and ask if it would be okay to take us early. All the sudden it became a lot more real, especially after hearing her proposed time of 12:30!
Daddy was psyched to get in his blue suit!
Things got a little delayed by another delivery. Meanwhile, a frantic Grandma Santore called as she was leaving from putting Nicholas down for a nap. In all her excitement, she had a complete brain lapse of how to drive from Cicero to Syracuse (yeah, like whether to go North or South on 81!). That's one for the memory book!
Before we knew it, I was taken away!
Daddy entered the OR to find a very nervous Mommy, who kept insisting that he "stay with the baby at all times....and don't pass out!"
At 1:17pm, our little angel joined us!
He was crying even before fully out and immediately reminded Mommy of what Nicholas looked like when he was born.
He was active and screeching - letting us all know he was finally here!

William's first bath didn't make him too happy.
