New Baby!!

As you can see, Lindsay was in a lot of pain. She was not too happy with me for taking this picture!


After she got the epidural she was willing to smile for the camera!!

...first time she held Fuller!



Four thirty a.m., Saturday, June 6th, my house phone rang. I immediately new Lindsay was in labor! It was my mom calling telling me the news! After hanging up the phone I got a rush of energy and started getting ready. When my mom and I arrived at the hospital, I had flashbacks of my labor. Lindsay had Andy on one side and the nurse on the other during her contractions. The only words that were coming out of her mouth were "I am going to die," and "this hurts so bad." However, she finally got an epidural and then it was smooth sailing!

Lindsay had a great labor. She went into labor on her own and did not have to have any pitocin. The nurse told her it was really rare to not have pitocin. Fuller was born at 12:00 noon on Saturday. I was in the room and it was an awesome experience. When I had Gabriela I was in labor for twenty six hours. It was hard and physically exhausting, and then I had to have a C-section. I was so happy that Lindsay had a great labor and I was able to experience it with her. Watching her have contractions, pushing, seeing Fuller for the first time, and Andy by her side coaching her was something I will never forget. I will never forget the look on her face after she delivered Fuller.

Fuller was seven pounds 8 ounces. We are not sure who he looks like. He has brown hair and blue eyes. His cry is a soft wimper and it is the sweetest little cry ever!! Lindsay and Andy are both doing great.....a little tired but that is to be expected!
