Miles Is Finally Here!

About midnight the night of 

our 11 year Anniversary, I was watching 

"Secret Life of the American Teenager" 

(haha, yep I admit it, I totally watch that show)

When I finally started noticing that 

the contractions I had been having 

were hurting more.  So I started timing

them and sure enough 

they were every 5 minutes! 

Considering the Hospital is 45min away, 

I was a little concerned.  

Tim, on the other hand, had to 

be woken up 2 different times before he 

realized I was definitely serious when 

I said it's time to G-O!

Of course now that it was upon us, 

I wasn't ready!  

He was supposed to come on Friday,

like I scheduled, not on Monday.  

His quilt was not quite finished yet 

and I didn't have a

bag packed for the kids, etc, etc...

But he was coming, ready or not!

Marci was running around at 1am saying,

 "This is the most exciting day EVER!"

Holding Miles for the 1st time!

 Unlike the last 2 times, this time I got an

Epidural !!!!  And that made all the difference!

Don't tell Tim, but I could seriously have

like 10 more kids if I got an epidural.

While I was pushing (it only took 3 times!) 

I even said,"I could do this all day!" 

Magic, I tell ya, magic.

And I felt great after!  I haven't even 

been all laid up in bed like before. 

It makes a huge difference when

you aren't in screaming pain for 

12 long, drug-free hours of labor.

Gimme the drugs!

 The kids LOVE their new baby brother!

The fighting over who holds him 

has died down a little...

Granma & Grandpa Durr

 Marci watched them break my water...

I think she will be sufficiently scared

of pregnancy for a while!  Hopefully, lasting

well through her teenage years!

My Mom & sister Amanda (the nurse) 

helped me through labor and 

my Mom cut the cord!

I could not have done it without them!

A freshly birthed Miles

Leaving the Hospital! Yay!

Timothy Lee and Miles Timothy

As a bonus, Miles has been a

Wonderful baby so far!

He sleeps really well, eats great,

and rarely cries!

I have been truly blessed with

four healthy, happy, awesome kids!
