He's Here!!!

Our little boy decided to grace us with his presence Monday morning at 7:57 a.m!! He's so wonderful and we love him more and more each minute. We went in at 2:00 Monday morning and I was dilated to a 5, and 6 hours later he was here. My labor would have been about 2 hours shorter, but there were lots of laboring women there that night (6 besides myself) and so it took the doctor a while to come and break my water. Labor and delivery are quite the experience, and I gained a whole new appreciation for my mother after having gone through it all myself. Our little man is healthy and strong, and we're grateful for that.

I'm not a fan of needles, so having an IV in my arm was not my idea of fun.

It says "daddy's boy" on his outfit, but you can't really see it

Yay Congrats!! Wow, you look GREAT just leaving the hospital, MUCH better than I looked! I think he takes after his dad so far but it will be easier to see once he's a little older :) Wasn't having a baby the most amazing experience? Enjoy your new little man!
