Delivery Day Part III

The lawyer came to our room the night of the birth and needed a name for all the legal paperwork.

We still weren't ready to decide.

We had him go see Christy to do all her paperwork first while we hashed it out.

We kept going back and forth between two names and 

just blurted out LANE when the lawyer came back.

So....

Lane Benson he shall be.

 

 We finally had a name!

AND we finally texted our family and friends a picture and introduced our caboose.

The hospital was awesome!

They were very aware of the surrogacy situation and already had a room for Romney and I that the hospital comps for all intended parents.

It was so nice.

We got to experience sleeping in an uncomfortable bed, have endless food service and have the nurses who come in every hour to check vitals in the middle of the night.

We even had the pleasant opportunity of having a nurse who turned on the lights at 3:00am and wanted to chat about her upbringing in Southern California.

 Oui, that was rough.

BUT, honestly it was such a treat to be in the hospital and experience all these firsts with our baby.

We were so tired...physically and emotionally.

It had been a LONG 24 hours.

But we were oh so grateful.
