Baby Blake is here!











Born Sunday, June 7, 2009 @ 11:55 am, 7 lbs 6 oz, 2o 1/2 inches. I went into labor early Sunday morning. By the time we arrived to the hospital around 7:00 am, I was already dilated 7 cm. By this point I was well ready for an epidural! 2 hours or so later, the relief finally came! Blake was born a happy, healthy baby boy, and mommy survived the birth. Labor was pretty traumatic. I'll just say this: the one word the doctors and nurses kept using over and over was "severe." However, I would do it all over again to have this precious baby in my arms! Now would I do this all over again for another child? I'll have to get back to you on that. At this point the closest thing Blake will have to a sibling will be his cousin Riley (who is due any day now).

Who does Blake look like? I think we have concluded he has Grando's hair (that would be Rusty), Eric's nose, my lips, and definately has Eric's bird legs! I think he has my skin tone as well. Sorry Blake, get used to the sunscreen!


Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such supportive friends and family!
