Baby Preston

 We are so glad to have our little Preston here!  It was a very easy pregnancy for me.  I had a lot of energy and had no complications.  What a blessing!  I was scheduled for an induction on 12-12 at 8 am, but this little guy had different plans for us.  I went to pick up my mom from the airport around 10 pm I was having contractions the whole way there and back, but I didn't think much of it.  We came back home and I said, "These contractions are about 3 minutes apart and they hurt."  Lynn and my mom said, "Call the doctor!"  So I did and we ended up going to the hospital around midnight.  They made me walk the halls for a bit and bounce on a big ball.  They checked me and I was at a 6, so they let me have an epidural.  That was AMAZING!  I didn't feel a thing after that and was able to get a few moments of sleep.  Next thing I know it was time to push and three contractions later he was here!  He was born at 6:55 am.  He weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz.  We love him so much!

The kids loved coming and visiting.  They ate popsicles and held their baby brother.
