Samuel Brian

I know some of you must think I'm a big nerd for already posting on the blog...less than 12 hours after having a baby.  But you know what, I'm sitting here in my room, Sam is happily sleeping in his bed, Brian is home with the girls and I have the energy and time. :O) 

Here's Sam's story:

7:30am - arrived at hospital to start induction, 2-3 cm dilated

8:30 - started pitocin

9ish - my doctor breaks my water bag

9:15 - 4cm dilated

9:30 - get the epidural (AWESOME!!)

11:15 - 6cm dilated

11:55 - doctor comes in - 10cm dilated, ready to push!! WOW!

12:02ish - start pushing

12:08 - Samuel Brian is born! 

I always rolled my eyes and secretly despised the women who said labor and delivery was "easy," but...now I'm one of those women! (sorry to all of you who never had it "easy," but I've been there too) 

Here are a few pics of our new little guy. I must say...he's adorable! 

Brand New Baby Boy!

Hi Mommy!

Sleepy Boy

Finally opening his eyes after a sleepy day!

Please keep praying for the girls...they aren't too excited about not having Mommy home with them right now and Hannah is still battling her fever.
