8lbs 6oz 18 1/2 inches (later to be discovered he was really 21 1/2 in.)
Wow it is so great to be blessed with another beautiful baby, he is just perfect all around.
So Thursday July 15,2010 we got up nice and early to be at the hospital at 5am for the C-Section, it was so weir to think we were going to have another baby I still had not come to grasp the thought that we were about to be parents of a new baby,sleepless nights diapers, crying and a heart melting baby boy, I was so nervous I was incredibly sick and nauseous, as they prepped me. I don't remember being as sick for my other 2 c-sections but they were both a lot different, I guess.
I love the anticipation of seeing the baby for the first time as Scott sits at my head and we both hold hands waiting to see our future, the first cry always brings tears to my eyes in the amazement of the new life that has been in trusted to me by my Heavenly Father. how could I be so lucky to have 4 beautiful Miracles. I am so blessed!
As he cryed I kept waiting for them to shout out his size I had a feeling he was going to be big I was thinking 10-12 lbs, Scott thought around 7 as my biggest was Mik at 6lbs. They yelled out 8lbs 6oz, I about died, no wounder my hips were killing me!
This was the first time I had a baby and I actually got to see them before they were rushed off, the Doctor even took pictures, even though I look like crap it was nice.Scott went with the baby as I finished up in the OR. This was our last baby we both decided to have my tubes tied. It is strange to know you can't have children any more, nothing I regret but it is a weird feeling. But what a better way to end with an even score 2-2, 2 boys 2 girls.
Colter is so stinking cute we all love to just hold him and stare at him, it is so unreal that he is here with us and we love every moment. you know having almost a 7 year gap between him and the twins he has a few mom's which is nice sometimes but other times I think they might be a bit much for him, and they are always letting everyone know how to hold him the right way and how to feed him the right way and how to burp him and why and so on. Mik can not wait until he is old enough to play football with, and that is not soon enough.
Colter is now one month old and I hope to keep the posts coming, but right now I have a screaming baby and LOADS of laundry!
