IT'S A BOY!!!

The big day finally arrived. I was scheduled to be induced on Monday so we were very excited. I have never gone on my own so I just figured this would be no different. We went to bed at about 12:00 because Maycie just didn't want to go to sleep. So then at about 3:00 am I woke up with contractions. They were about 5 minutes apart. They hurt but not too bad so I got up and looked on the internet when you should go to the dr.s. Still not yet. So I tried to sleep and then finally I decided that I would wake up Danny. He was getting excited and said let's get ready. I still wasn't sure if we should go yet so we took our time and the contractions got stronger and quicker. Then at about 5:30 the hospital called and asked if I could be there in an hour. I said for sure! I hung up and called my mom and then told Danny that I couldn't wait an hour we needed to go NOW! We got in the car and took off! Danny was loving it because he had a good reason to drive fast and he said he had always wanted to raise to the hospital! I was just in so much pain and wanted to get there. We came to a yellow light and he started to slow down and I said "What are you doing? Just GO!" So he ran a red light. Then he almost missed the turn to the hospital and I freaked out! I just wanted to get there! We finally got there and walked in and there were about 12 nurses just standing there staring at me while I cried. Finally we got a room and they told me that I was at an 8!!! I was so excited and could not believe I had done it on my own!

Then at 8:21 am our beautiful baby boy was born! He weighed in at 7 pounds and was 19" long! He is perfect! The kids are so excited and couldn't wait to come and hold their new baby brother. Maycie especially can not keep her hands off of him. She just keeps saying BABY! BABY! We have been so blessed and are so excited to have this sweet new baby be apart of our family!
