Christopher arrived on Monday morning, much faster than any of us thought he would! I went in to be induced that morning at 4am, but before they’d started any pitocin, while I was walking around the hospital room, my water broke. They still put me on the pitocin, around 6:30 I think. I had some painful contractions, asked for the epidural and got it, then found out I was 8cm dilated. From there it was a quick process and we had a baby boy before we knew it. I only pushed 3 or 4 times and there he was. This was by far the easiest labor and delivery for me and I am so thankful that it went the way it did.
Carson and Betsy both came up to see us. Carson loves his baby brother, and Betsy is just kind of cool with it. I think she’s too young to really get it.
We came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon after waiting what felt like forever to get discharged.
When we got home my mom was there and both kids were still asleep. After they’d woken up we were all on the couch and we tried to take a picture…
Carson flipped out. Betsy started to cry because Carson was crying. I love the looks on our faces.
This one was better.
I am so thankful for my mom who came and stayed the night before we went to the hospital and for my dad who came the night before. For Kate and Steve who drove down from Austin to see Christopher on his birthday and then back home in the same day. For Carrie who spent the day with the kids so that my mom could spend some time at the hospital. For the friends who came to visit us at the hospital, and for the family and friends who prayed for us and for Christopher and who called (texted/emailed/etc) us when he was born. For beautiful flowers, thank you Locketts, Persherns and Kims! Very thankful for an incredible husband who is so loving, supportive ad encouraging. And most of all thankful for the healthy baby boy who has joined our family.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Christopher is precious – y’all have such a beautiful family!
Beautiful family. May God continue to bless you, richly.
So precious! I can’t believe the next time we get together we will have six kids running around!! We should just go ahead and buy a house in College Station!!
I for sure read your post and cried. What the heck is that?! It’s so not me I think I’m just so proud OF y’all and FOR y’all!! I can believe it, I just never cease to be in awe of the amazing mom (and baker and blogger and prolly even candlestick maker) you’ve become and how much God has blessed your family. Love you guys!
