So I have had a lot of people wondering where I have been for the past week and wondering if the SEO Baby was born or not. Well I am finally truly back in the saddle and wanted to let everyone know that Grace (Gracie) Pierson was born on May 21, 2008 at 7lbs 1oz and 20 inches long. Your SEO Mentor is now a proud daddy.

We are so happy and blessed to have little Gracie in our lives. Just to let you all know how it all went here is what happened:

On Tuesday night at 9:30 PM we went in to the hospital and at about 10:30 PM they started Lindsey on Pitocin to get her started. Family was there until about 12:30 AM and all went home to sleep and we tried but failed to sleep. At 6:30 AM that next morning the doctor broke Lindsey’s water and at 7:30 AM she received a Epidural for the pain. Family then started coming around 8:30-9:oo AM.

We then continued to wait, wait, and then wait some more. Then at about 2:30 PM the nurses had Lindsey start pushing and then 10 minutes later the doctor was there and Grace was born at 2:55 PM.

The next day at about 11:00 AM Grace’s pediatrician called and said that she had high CRP and Band Cell levels (whatever the heck that is) and was worried that she had an infection. At 12:00 PM the nurses took Grace to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). We then proceeded to go to the NICU and feed Grace every three hours for the next 3.5 days. Her levels continued to drop down to where they needed to be and we were able to bring her home at 11:00 Am on Sunday May 25, 2008.

Here is a little video of her birth that my wife put together, ENJOY:

The winner of the “SEO Baby Contest” has been announced and is Stephanie Sharp. Thanks to everyone that participated.
