Family of 4!!

We are officially a family of four! Bob and I feel so wonderfully blessed to now have a little girl and a baby boy! Morgan is infatuated with RJ right now...hopefully she will keep up the un-jealous attitude!

.

Details...was due on Wednesday September 24, that date came and went. Felt great over the weekend and no baby. Monday went to school and when coming home I felt an odd twinge in the belly...maybe a contraction? Didn't hurt...so maybe just my imagination or a kick? Nope...from around 4pm on Monday until I went to bed around 10pm I got a slight (not painful) contraction every 1/2 hour. Slept until midnight when I woke up to a much more intense contraction. Contractions followed from then on until 5 am every 10 minutes. They began coming a bit closer together and by 9am the contractions were 5 minutes apart consistently and getting rough! Dropped Morgan off at Mom's best friend's house and started the 45 minute drive to the hospital! To make the long story short...we got there around 10:30am...I was told I was already an 8 and had a brief amount of time to decide on an epidural. I declined, the doctor broke my water, pushed for 9 minutes and RJ was born at 12:19 Tuesday (Sept 30th) afternoon! Just in time for lunch! Unlike Morgan...he began nursing immediately and was/is a champ!!! Delivery was definitely painful and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it...but it was all worth it! It was so wonderful to have that little, beautiful baby boy in my arms with no unnecessary medication in my system or his! I was so overwhelmed and excited! We still hadn't decided on a girl's name and to realize we had had a boy...it took all our breaths away!

Morgan was 6 days early, 6 pounds 2 ounces, 19.5 inches long

RJ was 6 days late, 6 pounds 9 ounces, 20.5 inches long

I am so much in love...I am having a hard time not staring at my two beautiful children...not that I am biased or anything!
