David

We did it! We finally had our baby. Thank heavens. We had him on February 17, at 7:35 p.m. His name is David and he weighed 9 lbs 9 oz. He was 21 1/2 inches long and had a head circumference of 15 in. And guess what else. I decided to be all psycho and try au' natural. Yes I did it naturally, no drugs, no epidural (however you spell that), and we went all out! Now would I do it again? That night it was a definate no. But today, I'm thinking that I might. Anyway, I call it extreme birthing. I had to at least try it once. And without that drive to push the baby out, I just don't think I would have been able to push a large kid like that out with an epidural. So I'm grateful that we did it. Anyway, this is me in labor. I know I look too happy to have done it naturally, believe me this was at the beginning, not the end. The doctor kept coming in and saying that he wanted to see me in agony. He felt pretty bad after he did see me in agony, however.

The kids came and visited the next day. They love their new baby brother.

Sierra holds him constantly. It's taken Joshua a little bit of time to warm up to him.

Tyler loved him right away. Look David's almost outgrown his brother.

I'm sorry but I don't know what I would do with a small baby. He is just too cute. We'll see how I feel in a couple of weeks, right?
