Well, I finally got up the energy to put up a post on the blog.
James decided 2 am on Monday morning was a good time to arrive. He didn't make it easy on me either.(as if having a baby is ever easy on anyone!) I went into labor on Sunday night, but because of positioning and a distressed baby I ended up having another c-section. I was kinda bitter at the time, but I'm over it because I have healthy beautiful baby. He was 8lbs 7oz and almost 21 inches long, and came out with a few battle wounds. Some bruises and a cut from the scalpel...don't ask...and some scabs on his head from the internal monitor. But as you can see he's a good looking kid, and we love him to bits!

Alli is taking quite a liking to him already. She likes to hold him and kiss him, and she points out and says ears and eyes and nose. I think she will be a good helper. Right now my mom is my best helper. I'm sooo glad she is here. My house is always clean, Alli always has a playmate and James is never without a cuddle.
So here is our first picture of our family of four! I don't even beleive it when I say it. The reality hasn't set in at all yet. It's going to be a busy summer for us. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures to post along the way. Ok I can't sit here any longer, I hope this all made sense!

Congratulations!! He is such a cute baby I can't wait to come see him. It looks like Alli really likes him.
Congrats on a gorgeous baby boy.....I wish that this baby of mine would decide to come.....I don't want to go over in fear of another 11 lb baby!!! Glad to see Alli is enjoying her brother.....not too sure what my youngest is going to think of a new baby yet!!!
So glad you finally posted! Tell Derek thanks for emailing pictures. So funny how family of 4 sounds sooo different than family of 3. Is is just me or does he look way different that Alli? For some reason I thought you and Derek would have those cookie cutter kids that are all so cute and look exactly alike. But I guess they change so much so fast, so we shall see. But he is so cute!
He is such a handsome little guy. As hard as it was to believe before, isn't 2 even better than 1? Glad to hear you're all doing well now after all that trama, poor baby! poor mom! Congratulations again, I'm so happy for you guys!!!!!
Hey...cute pictures! Glad everything is going well and you are doing well. Congrats to the both of you. Almost my turn!
