What A Change!
First off, sorry for neglecting the blog. Life has thrown a few curveballs lately and I just haven't found the time to sit down and write. Some of you already know this but for those that don't I recently became a Dad and Sandra became a Grandma for the third time. Joseph William Edward Druce was finally born on April 23, 2010 at 8:36 am.
We went through quite a month of April, I am unsure if I spent more time at Royal Columbian Hospital or at the store. Priscilla ended up with a bit of high blood pressure so the doctor tried inducing her on Easter weekend, I know what you are thinking and yes Easter was at the beginning of April this year. After 18 hours of trying to induce her nothing had happened and I mean nothing other than I got half a book read. We then spent almost every other day either at the doctors office or at the hospital. I think I spent Joseph's first year of College on parking that month. We had no problem with this as we just wanted what was best for Priscilla and the baby and at that time we still didn't know it was a he. Then finally the week before the due date which was April 24 we get some action, but not the kind with contractions, just the day to go for a C-section. A couple days later the were able to be booked as a specific time which was the first of the day.
We get there and get ready the IV goes in, we later find out that the nurse that put the IV in is actually a customer. At that time we were not comprehending much as we were as nervous as could be. We go into the OR waiting area and one of the first people we meet is another customer and Family friend, who tells us she was almost the nurse in our room but got switched at the last minute. Then the anaesthetist comes by for some questions and He happens to be the husband of Priscilla's sister in-law's, best friend. So we are taken in to the OR, sorry let me rephrase Priscilla was, I was left to sit out side while they numbed her up. I go in and Priscilla and the anaesthetist are chatting away. This goes on for a few minutes and the next thing we know we hear it's a boy and Joseph was born. That is the moment my life changed and changed for the rest of my life. I am so happy being a Dad and thought Father's Day was the perfect day for me to write that. I promise to try to keep up the blogs but you never know with a kid when the next curveball is coming your way so bare with me.
