And then there were three...

Where to begin... Monday February 15, we welcomed our third little bundle of boy I mean joy. =) I have to say I was a bit nervous forcing him to come into this world almost two weeks early. But I was selfish and my desire to meet him along with my desire to not be pregnant anymore won out in the end. I have to say that for me having my labor started is the way to go. I have my babies so fast that way. We got to the hospital at 10am, started pitocin at 11:25 and at 3:43 we had a baby. The only hard part was waiting an hour to get my epidural because the Dr. was in a C-section. I thought I was going to die when he finally arrived. But once the drugs kicked in I was very comfortable and dilated from a 4 to a 10 in about an hour. Hardly even had to push. It was probably the best birthing experience I have had, thanks to my awesome doctor. Maybe TMI but I got to pull him out and set him on my tummy. Then he peed all over me.

He weighed a whopping 6Lbs. 15Oz. and was 18.25 inches. So so little. We love him so much and so do his brothers. Hunter was devastated when he didn't get to take him home from the hospital the night he was born. He sobbed. It was so sweet and sad all at once.

Carter has such a sweet temperament and I can't wait to get to know him.


Before the fun began.... and yes I realize I look like someone blew me up with an air hose. Pregnancy is not pretty on me.
