Here I am opening the gifts Willie gave me.

I love giving Baby Willie kisses.

Look at my Big Brother Ribbon!

Since I'm the big brother, I got to push the button so everyone would know Baby Willie was born. It plays a lullaby.

Mommy, having a cold one!

Daddy knows how to calm Willie.

Big Yawn!

Mommy checked into the hospital around 8:30 am and was hooked up to pitosin around 9am. Dr. Rodgers broke her water around noon. Soon after the water broke, Mommy was having painful contractions and then the epidural came. Mommy felt better after that. She had to be hooked up to some O2 because her blood pressure declined and Baby Willie's heart rate needed an energy boost. The same thing happened on the day I was born. They had Mommy lay on her side to help. When I came to visit Mommy, she could only lay on her side, so I climbed in bed behind her and gave her lots of hugs and kisses. I could tell she wasn't feeling her best. Mommy had lots of visitors while she was in labor... Aunt Brandy, Gramma Linda and Papa Tom, Aunt Christy, Uncle Keith and Tarod, Gramma Carla and Grampa Steve. When it came time to push, Dr. Rodgers had her start a little too early, so Mommy only pushed for 20 minutes. After a rest and a little more downward progression from Willie, she pushed for another hour or so and Willie finally came out at 9:33pm.

Hospital Bound

We can't think of a better way to spend the Fourth of July than to have our Baby. Waylon sent us off to go have his Baby Brother. Here we are before meeting Willie!

Mommy's Due Date

Mommy is 40 weeks pregnant today... that means my little brother Willie should be arriving any time. Mommy went to the doctor today and she said that we are going to shoot for a patriotic July 4th baby. This means Mommy is going to check into the hospital on Friday morning so they can trick her body into going into labor... that is if Willie doesn't come before then. We went on a walk tonight to try and bring on Baby Willie. I put Avery and my Baby into the back seat of our new double stroller. Our neighbor was nice enough to take a picture of us while we were on our walk. Mommy also tried eating some spicy chili from Aunt Brandy to make Willie come out. No baby yet!!
