Minutes after birth and he already loves his Mama!

We are SO excited that Parker is here and a healthy beautiful boy. The birth was a good experience over all and so much different than the 1st time. I went to the Dr on Tuesday morning 2/22 and was dilated to 3cm and 60% effaced. My mom and I had planned to spend the day together so after my appointment I met up with her we did a little shopping and then had lunch. I was contracting as I normally do but started have some stronger contractions that were 4 minutes apart and never stopped no matter what I did. At about 3pm I started noticing that with every contraction I thought I was peeing my pants (sorry TMI) and then my mom mentioned that maybe was water had a leak. So eventually I called L&D and the wanted me to come in to check it out. I waited as long as I could before calling Jeremy to come home but the contractions started getting even stronger and 2-3 minutes apart. Jeremy came home we got the hospital at 7pm and I did end up having a high leak in my bag but had also progressed to 4cm and 100% effaced. We were having BABY!!! After a long night of laboring and NO sleep Parker James arrived at 3:51AM...

He is sweet TINY and perfect!

I could not feel more blessed to have 2 beautiful and healthy children.
