More pictures...

We had lots of visitors this weekend and are looking forward to more in the weeks to come. Here are some shots of Griffin with some of his biggest fans.

Aunt Coco and Uncle D-Bow brought lil Clayton to visit his little cousin. Christmas is gonna be awesome!




Here is Gigi and Pop with Grandbaby #2.





Griffin had his first bath at home as well.


Here is Griffin and Pop.


Griffin got to meet his Aunt Ashley, Uncle Ryan and cousin Bennett who stopped by on the way to Athens to watch the Dawgs play. It's awesome to be back in Georgia! (Note: It isn't easy to get an almost 2 year old to smile, but it sure is cute)


Laura and Scott also came by to visit.


We also had a photo shoot that Gigi orchestrated. We will work on those pictures in the next few days and upload those as well. Hope you have a great week. Thanks for keeping up with us.

Griffin Ethridge Greene

We brought our boy home today, Monday September 21st at 1:30 pm. Mom and boy are both doing great. Here are some pictures of the most amazing weekend of my life.

Here's a picture of mom before the big day got going.



Sara Kate worked really hard. You think you love and respect your wife...and then she delivers the best gift in the world.





Here's a look at our boy when he was less than 5 minutes old.


Click on the video of him being footprinted.


Here is the first picture with GG and Griffin.


Uncle "E" was the official representative of all the siblings.


Here is a picture of the granddad's, Dad, and Griffin.


GG and Pop made the drive...and were awesomely patient.


Here is the first picture with Bets, Paw Paw and Griffin.



Who else came to visit.....none other than Anna and Katie Beth. they aren't family, but they are pretty dang close to it.



These pictures speaks for themselves.







Dad is completely in love with his boy.









Getting ready to leave the hospital.



Thank you for all of your prayers. They were definitely felt. We go to the pediatrician for Griffin's first checkup in the morning. We will keep you posted and continue to keep you updated as he grows.

It's a boy!

Griffin Ethridge Greene was born at 7:29. He weighs 7 lbs 15 oz, 21.5" long. He's got all 10 fingers and toes. Sara Kate was awesome. Pictures to follow. Thank you for your prayers. It was a great experience.

Really Close!

It is now 4:00 and the midwife just gave us some great news. The epidural really helped SK relax so labor has progressed and she is now 9.5 cm and 100% effaced. Nurse said we are gonna start pushing at 5:00. God is good! Next post we should have measurements and the announcement of our baby boy or girl.

Update

It is now about 2:20. The day is moving along faster than expected. Sara Kate labored without any drugs for about 6 hours and did amazing. She received an epidural around 1:15 and that has made the difference. She is now 5 cm and about 90% effaced. It shouldn't be too long now. Thanks for your prayers. They are felt.

Gettin' Close... Except for Not

Sara Kate and I got settled in to the hospital at 9:00 last night. They gave her a servidil to help get things going. Last night we slept about 4-5 hrs. They just started her on Pitocin. She's already having some mild contractions every 4 minutes for about 30 seconds. We will keep you posted. We are having a good time listening to the "Baby's Day" mix I made. Thank you for your prayers. I'll keep you updated throughout the day.
