He is here!!

Well Paxton Mark made it! Finally! He was born at 12:11AM on August 10, 2010. Weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21.5 inches long. All that girth fit in that massive belly pictured below. They say labor is different with each pregnancy...they aren't kidding! This time I felt like we did a lot of unproductive sitting around. We got to the hospital around 8pm and we sat around. The gal in the room behind me was complaining and needed her epidural first if I said okay...who am I to rob the poor girl of some relief? So I said sure...sat around some more....waited for the doctor to break my water.....sat around some more.....Hey look at that a 10 without any drugs. So pushing time comes around and my contractions are 3 minutes apart. Push and then do what? Sit around and wait for another contraction......ANYWAY. After a lot of sitting around he made his appearance!

I know you can't see his little face in this picture, but I still think it is cute. I might regret putting this picture up in like 5 minutes, but for right now I think it is cute. He is only minutes old in this picture.

Marin came by the hospital and was a little unsure about the whole new baby. However by the time they left it was my baby this and my baby that. They came back that night and apparently she was pretty pumped to be going to see her baby. She really is good with him, thank goodness! We will see if it lasts....

So in this picture....my darling little Marin is telling me I'm wrong when I was trying to help her feed Paxton. Oh my....She is pretty funny. Her 2 new favorite things to say are "I take him" and "My Turn". She likes Paxton to be apart of WHATEVER she is doing. She likes him next to her at all times. I think they are going to friends...if he wants to be or not : )

A friend of mine put it perfectly...he isn't a tiny newborn is he? NOPE. He is small for sure just not tiny. Some ladies in our ward have had babies recently and they are all like 6 something. Nope he isn't tiny : ) We are adjusting well with a newborn and a toddler in the house and I can't say how happy I am that Marin loves the baby instead of hating on him or being jealous. She does get a little jealous when someone other than Mark or myself are holding him but she will get over that I'm sure...at least I'm hoping.

Needless to say there is a lot of this going on in our house.....

And this.....

Oh and this.....

Notice the Mama isn't getting any sleep?!?! HA! Not true, I'm getting plenty of sleep Mark is just smart enough to not take a picture of me sleeping : ) Thanks Mark! Until next break I get....
