I thought this a very creative way to hold that bag for candy and keep the hands free

He's definitely our cute little runt.

He eats every 5 minutes, it sometimes seems, but is staying little and not gaining weight very quickly.

We're still waiting for that baby chub to come!

Look how she lined all the books up for baby M's viewing pleasure.  Maybe she thinks he has x-ray vision or was planning on moving each one when he got sick of looking at it.

Either way, she's an attentive big sister.

Can't forget about seeing Oli coming home from his mission!

M.S.S.

So!  This little guy came to our family.  

Here's a glossed over version of all the details. 

I'd been having contractions for a solid 2-3 weeks and we'd beenthinking he was going to come anytime.

Thursday I had some random contractions that felt a little different, but I didn't think it was anything.

Finally, when Isaac was working on his truck with a friend I started timing them at 4:00pm.  Realizing they were about 6 min apart I hurriedly started cleaning the kitchen.

I called Isaac at 4:45 and he drove his friends' truck home as his was completely taken apart.  (That friend ended up finishing up all the rest of the work on the truck, which was super nice).

Of course, the hospital bag wasn't completely packed and I was in no hurry to go to the hospital.  Our next door neighbor came over and we got to the hospital maybe about 6:00. 

That's when the contractions started getting pretty bad pretty fast.  By the time they got a room open I couldn't even walk into it. I was going to ask for an epidural this time, but the on call doctor was 25 min. away.  How is that on call?!   Apparently, I told them to still call him.

He didn't make it in time.

 Myer was born at 7:11pm.  He's perfect.

Each birth is different and this one had alot of firsts.  

Baby was fine, but I had alot of firsts,

It all turned out ok, thanks to prayers of family members, I'm sure!

We're so glad to have this little guy finally here.

We think he looks like baby Kason

All cleaned up, I love his hair!

Emry is such a good big sister!

My mom saved the day for a solid week!  She basically did everything.
