Finally here!


That's right...baby 2 has arrived! I couldn't be more thrilled to have him in the outside world. It was pretty fast and furious...I went to an appointment with my doc and he performed a procedure to get labor going...I had been 3 cm's for 2 weeks and was willing to do just about anything to go into labor. I actually started having contractions on the way home but ignored them...I didn't want to get my hopes up. Throughout the afternoon they became steadier and steadier until at about 11:30 at night I decided we should make our way to the hospital. We had already sent Charlie to be with Nana and Papa Moore for the night and our bags had been in the car for 2 weeks! We were ready! Unfortunately when I arrived at the hospital I was told to walk around for an hour and then they would check me again. Uhg! Really?! Anyways...that hour was very productive and they admitted me. YAYAYY! Sooo from 12:30 to 2 I went from 4 to 8 cm's and was ready for the pain meds. My epi kicked in and I was holding my baby an hour later! Phew! It was so amazing yet again. He has some resemblance to Charlie but mostly has his very own look about him. I have been blessed with another son and he is amazingly content. He was a great nurser from moment one and is content to sleep, eat and poop. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. It allows me to put him down and play with Charlie or do something around the house. God is so Good! With family moments from my front door I know that I have nothing to worry about. I find my self a bit tired but mostly excited for what is ahead and treasuring the moments right now.
