It's a Boy!

Well we had our beautiful baby on Monday, July 6th at 7:21. We were thrilled when he came out and the Dr. announced that it was a boy. It was a fun surprise! I was started on the pitocin about noon and my water was broke around 2:30. The labor and delivery went great and he came pretty quick after I went into active labor. He weighed 7lbs 7oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. He looks a lot like Jacob did when he was born. It is pretty funny. He is so sweet! We feel so blessed to have him in our family! We struggled a little bit with picking a name. We had a girls name picked out but not a boys name. But we finally decided on one. I don't have pictures to post yet but here is a video which has the name we finally picked for him at the end.
