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!
