Welcome Home Little Brixton!

Well...he's here!  I was induced Tuesday morning....the drugs worked extremely well....(meaning the pitocin, NOT necessarily the epidural).  I think the pitocin worked better than anyone in the room expected (especially Mike).  They even turned the pitocin completely off because my contractions were coming so quickly, and I was waiting for the epidural....but nope...my body was not about to slow down.  So when I got the epidural, the nurse checked me immediately after and I was dilated to a PLUS 2.  I had never even heard of that...but what it meant was that our baby was on his way out!   I pushed for 7 contractions, and he was born.   It took just over 2 hours from when I got the I.V., to when he was born.    He was 6 lbs. 11 oz. , 20 inches long.  

We know, these aren't the best pictures...but they will do for now.  



My first picture with my 2 boys



Damon is absolutely LOVING being the big brother.  He has said some of the cutest and sweetest things since his little brother was born.  This morning Damon cuddled up to him, and said "Hi....it's me....good morning"
For some reason, I just melted....
Damon also told Brixton that "No matter what, even if you cry a lot, I will always love you"



I'll admit it....I'm a very proud mom

Hooray for little babies! And by the way, I hate you - only 2 hours? You suck! I think I hold the record for being induced and finally having Cade 27 hours later! Congrats though, I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations! He is so cute! I hope my delivery goes that quickly. Was it even hard to push since you were dilated so much? Seems like he'd just drop out... I'm so happy for you!

YAY!!! I'm so happy for you guys! I've been thinking about you...and I'm so glad everythings going well. Brixton is adorable and I love how excited Damon is, so sweet! Pitocin without an epideral is NO FUN, I had to do that with Lexi and she was 8lbs.12oz., I hope yours was better than mine, atleast your delivery was quick, right?! Miss you and your sweet little family!!
