Quick story of our little man's arrival: We went to bed around 11pm. I woke up at 12:30 with a really strong contraction and next thing I know my water broke! Talk about great timing. I didn't care though, I was so uncomfortable and ready to have this baby that I was ready to go! Thankfully our girls were staying with Leland's parents so we got our things together and headed to the hospital. On the way I started noticing my contractions were getting stronger and really close together. I think Leland was going about 100 mph down George Bush Turnpike and running every red light. We went to the emergency room and they took their time getting my info, meanwhile I'm starting to feel like the baby is coming soon! I told them they needed to hurry and they realized I could have this baby any time now so they got me going pretty quick. I was suppose to have a repeat c-sec and when the nurse checked me I was 7cm dilated. She kept trying to talk me into a v-bac but I had planned on getting my tubes tied and was was not prepared to change the game plan at the last minute. All I wanted at this point was the epidural and I didn't care how they got him out of me! Ha! Anyway, 2 hours after my water broke, our little man arrived. He looked perfect and hearing him cry when he came out was music to my ears. Thank you Lord for blessing us with 3 beautiful healthy children and having a son this time was just a bonus!

Kate and Morgan meeting their brother for the first time. Unfortunately Kate had a little bit of a fever and we couldn't let her hold him so we wheeled him out in the waiting room so they could get a look at him.
Harrison is one week old here. He was wide awake. I think he looks a little like Kate when she was a newborn. He has been a great baby so far. He sleeps good at night. Most times I have to wake him up to feed him and he usually goes right back to sleep. He poops A LOT! I have gone through more diapers with Harrison so far! I pray this laid back personality stays this way. We are just so in love with him and the girls cannot stop kissing him and holding him. Morgan just calls him baby and kate calls him sweet baby brother or sweet Harrisony. I have had help from family since we've been home but am anxious to see how I'm going to juggle 3 kids at home when it's just me! Yikes! I wouldn't have it any other way though. I love my little family!
