we welcomed our sweet baby boy early Friday morning 1/24/14 at 1:44 am. 9lbs 11oz and 22in long.
right after noah was born!
The Lord's timing was perfect. I went into labor quickly. I started having contractions at dinner on Thursday night, around 6. I went for a walk from 7-8 with my friend and felt them getting stronger. By 9 we were at the hospital. Dave was amazing and just kept me so calm and focused through the entire birth. By 1:44am Noah was here. The best part was I didn't have to be induced! My body got the memo this time around :) The pushing was very quick, but eh. painful. His shoulder got stuck (so did lucas not that I was aware at the time!') I was able to labor on my 'birthing/yoga' ball. Everything felt so calm and pretty quick. I'm so happy I didn't have to be induced this time :)
A few pictures from his first day. The boys came over Friday morning to welcome their little brother. I can't believe I am a mama to 3 such precious little boys!
my heart is full.
our first moments with noah
my favorite. I think Dave and I are just looking at each other thinking...can you believe we have three boys? life is crazy beautiful ;)
the first night I just couldn't sleep. I kept looking at my youngest son. imagining the his first moment with his big brothers. I kept thinking how blessed I am to be their mama. And the wife of such an amazing husband and father of our children. I cried happy tears.
We have grandma here all week :) Such a blessing!
More pictures to come...my sister and mom came up Friday and had some sweet moments with the boys.
first outing for noah. a walk around the neighborhood ;)

Sleep is less. Sanity is less. But our hearts are full as we settle into life as a family of five.
