Our baby boy decided in the early morning hours of March 5th he was ready to grace us with his presence. My friend Chelsea graciously came over to be with Abby until my mom could get here (thanks so much!) and Vic and I headed to the hospital. I was admitted and the contractions were getting strong so I immediately asked for my epidural. The resident who did it had to poke me several times but did end up getting it to work. My right side was always numb but my left side would only work if they "flooded" my system with the drug. Fine by me. We waited and waited and finally was told I was ready. After only 10 minutes of easy pushing, at 2:26pm he was born. Vic made me laugh while I was pushing and I think I freaked the doctor out haha. He was 9 pounds, 2 ounces, and 20 inches long! How in the world was I carrying such a big baby? Abby adores him. She likes him so much she's always jumping on him so we've had a hard time getting her off of him. :P So far he's really been a good baby, he just sleeps all the time. We've had some trouble getting him to sleep in his bassinet because he really enjoys sleeping with us in our bed. Gonna have to break him of that right quick. He looks so much like Abby to me! He is also changing so much everyday. We are so blessed.

Congratulations, Amanda! OVER 9 lbs?!! My goodness, good job.
I'm so jealous, Garth Lee was a 9 pounder and Gavin was 7lbs 3oz, and it seems like we are constantly worrying about him gaining weight. Bigger babies are awesome! Congrats!!!!
Congratulations. We can't wait to see the little guy in person some day. Take care.
Great Uncle Clay
