He's Finally Here!!!

Our 4th little boy finally arrived at 12:50am, today.

To put it mildly, this labor and delivery was not exactly what I was expecting! We thought he would be here in under 6 hrs.... boy were we wrong! He finally made his debut after 2 IVs, 2 attempts to break my water, 2 epidurals (seriously, worst experience EVER), 12 hours of labor and 2 1/2 hours of pushing!!!! He was in NO hurry!

Name: Sean

Weight: 8 lbs 13 oz (a whole lb. bigger than my next biggest)

Length: 20 inches

I'll post more pics soon. Just wanted to give everyone a quick update!

20 days and counting...

So, the new little guy should be here in less than three weeks! I had a doctor's apt. yesterday and she scheduled an induction for me for the 23rd of Feb! That's only 2 1/2 weeks away! The only hang up is that it is Rich's 30th birthday, too! I don't think he's too excited about spending it in a hospital. Actually, more than that, I think that Rich doesn't want this new little one to have to share his birthday. He wants him to have his own special day. So... we are rescheduling it for Thurs. the 26th (my Dr.'s next "on call" day). That's in three weeks from yesterday!

I'm super excited to get him here and not be pregnant anymore!!! However, I am starting to freak out a little bit about being the mom of 4 BOYS! --Not sure I can handle this one! Plus we are still really struggling with a name! I have a feeling it will come down to the hours we are leaving the hospital before we figure it out!
