7 LBS. 5 OZ 19.5 inches
Born April 2nd...
He is here and I'm in love! There is nothing better than a newborn baby and meeting the person that was growing inside of you. It's hard to imagine that this is what I was carrying around inside me all that time! He is so sweet!
Thanks Christina for updating everyone with the last post:)
I did wake up around 4:00am the day of my due date with contractions about every 10-15 minutes apart. Around 6:00 am they started to become more uncomfortable and about every 2-5 minutes apart. We got to the hospital at 7:30 am, I was in SO MUCH PAIN...how do woman do this? How can anyone experience that kind of pain (can you tell it's still fresh in my mind :)?
By the time I received my epidural it was 10:15 am and I had him at 10:57 am. It only took about 3 pushes and he was out. I can't believe how fast he came, it almost didn't seem real. I went from a 6 to a 10 and ready to push in less than 45 minutes! Epidurals work wonders for me:) This was the first time that I went into labor on my own and without pitocin. I feel so lucky, overall my whole labor was about 5 hours...No c-section..I feel so blessed to have a new healthy baby boy!
Everyone has been so nice and so many have offered to help with the kids and bring meals in. My Mom has helped so much, she has been here to watch the kids and make yummy food, clean, and she just does everything the way I like it, thanks so much Mom!
It's so neat to see the love that my children have for the new baby. It's priceless...I wish I could freeze this special time and make it last a little longer...
Todd ended up deciding his name, I don't know what was up with me but the pressure of picking his name was too much (can you say hormones)?? So I told Todd to just decide and Noah was the name he picked...Robert is my Grandpa's name so I knew I wanted that for the middle name....but I think it fits him well :).
Thanks everyone for your well wishes! I appreciate it!!

He is so beautiful! But then again, look at his mommy! You look great. Makeup and everything. I never had time to get makeup on for any of my kids. I look scary.
I love the picture of all of the kids around the baby. Those are my favorite.
Take care and keep us posted if you can. Congratulations!!
Ps You guys did a great job on the name.
SOOOO Cute Kristen!!! He is adorable, and you look amazing!!! Hair all done and everything!! I know with Jacob I looked like a tornado hit me after I had him, (because it did)!! His name is super cute, Todd did a good job, but you are too nice to let him decide!!!
Noah is a very cute name. Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you, and glad to hear you are happy with how things have gone and that all has gone well with the baby's arrival. Your mom sounds wonderful. Take care and keep us posted!
O Kristin, I'm so happy for you guys. It makes me excited for my baby to get here. You look awesome. I remember Todd wanted to name Trevor, Noah didn't he? I like it a lot. And you are so lucky to have a mom that knows just what you want and need and does it. Nice.
Yeah!!! He's so cute Kristen and you look great. I'm so excited that you had a quick labor and you WENT into labor without pitocin--I always wanted that. I like his name, I can already hear Todd chanting it when he's playing sports! :-) It's so nice to have moms around when we have babies, so glad she's there to help you and the fam. Congratz!

I knew there would be picture taking going on... talk about planning ahead :)
Like your friend Becca I cried from this post too. I'm sure it's from all those wonderful pregnancy hormones! I just loved the pic. with all your kids around Noah, Toad did a great job on the name. Danny has picked both Max and Van's names. Well, Congratulations hope all is well.
