Baby Baby has arrived!

This post is about 2 weeks over due! It's taken me a little bit longer to catch up on sleep & get my ducks in a row. But on to our big news! We were so blessed on September 22nd with the birth of our sweet Weston Kirk. He was 8 lbs 3 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Thankfully all is well!

Our delivery was a little more tricky than anticipated. My blood pressure was acting up the whole time which caused Weston's heart rate to continually drop. Yep, I got to rock the cool oxygen mask the entire delivery.

And then our little fella was facing the wrong way and there was talk of an C-Section. Thankfully he turned around and we were ready to roll. But, our sweet little guy just wanted to hang out in there. During the delivery his heart rate was very low. Our doctor was concerned and decided to use the vacuum to help get him out.

Finally he came on out into the world (in a room suddenly full of hospital staff - hello strangers!) So Weston had a nice little hickey on his head. Hopefully that will be the only type of hickey he'll have until he's 30.






Holton was so proud to wear his big brother shirt. He was immediately helpful with his baby bro. He's helping his daddy try and burp Weston.

Weston was ready to leave the excitement of the hopstital and head on home.

A big thank you to our family and friends that came to the hospital to share in our joy. Weston is truly loved by so many and we are so blessed to have such wonderful people in his life.
