We are so excited to have our little man here with us. He was born Monday, August 5th at 4:24 pm. I was admitted to the hospital that morning to be induced. After the speed of Grace's labor I was really anxious about this one so I opted for the induction. Unlike his sister Henry took his time. They started the pitocin at 9 am and things didn't really start progressing much till around 3pm. At that point things got more intense. I had opted not to get the epidural until I thought that I really needed it. I waited too long, I got some IV drugs, but no real pain killers (I don't reccomend waiting that long). I was pretty loopy from what they gave me so I am not totally clear on how things went down. I know I wasn't fully dialeted yet, but Henry's heart rate dropped pretty dramatically so the doctor felt he needed to deliver so I started pushing at 8cm (once again I don't reccommend this method). The doctor helped out and he came pretty quickly, it took a minute to get him crying, but he was perfectly healthy and just perfect.
He has the same chin and mouth as Grace and really looks so much like his dad! He is a very handsome boy!
Grace met him that evening and immediatly wanted to hug and kiss him. She has a cute baby talk voice and she just oohs and ahhs over him. It's so cute!
Our little family of four!
We brought Henry home on Wednesday. Grace was excited to have him there and loves to hold him for two seconds at a time.
He is so tiny!
But it is so fun to have a sweet tiny baby again, and I love seeing Grace take on her role as big sister!
