Happy Birthday!

I have to say having a rainbow brought with it many emotions I was not sure how to deal with.  We are over the moon in love with this little guy and I am not taking any of it for granted I promise.  I am pretty tired and not complaining because he is here, he is healthy and we are blessed.  His sisters are over the moon in love.

His daddy likes him a little too...

Now to my defense, things did get a little bananas...  I went to my regular appointment and my blood pressure was pretty high so my doctors decided to induce me a few weeks early.  I checked in and pitocin was started around noon.  His heart rate dipped a few times but oxygen was added and I turned on my side and all was well. His birth was very peaceful and he came out screaming!!! Music to our ears.  My sister in law had just picked up the girls from school and they all walked in a few minutes before he was born, it was just perfect timing.  We went home a few days later and my blood pressure went through the roof a few days after that and I ended up back in the hospital.  That was hard on everyone.  I am still on blood pressure medicine, but I am being slowly weened off.  Trey is doing well.  He does not sleep for long periods of time, but we are smitten and I will sleep in a few years.

Our little man...
