He's here!!

After laboring at home for over a day, Jimmy and I went into the hospital on Monday morning at 6:30 am. After finding out I was dilated to an 8 (yeah!), I knew I could do the rest natural like I had been planning! This was my first time without an epidural so I wasn't sure what to expect. Jimmy was a huge support- giving me ice, encouragement, wiping my forehead with cold washcloths (I was so hot!!). At 8:33 Scotty Randall was born! What a great experience!! He weighed in at a whopping 8 lb. 13 ou. and 21 inches long! He is healthy and doing great! He loves to eat and loves to be held- which makes me pretty busy! Last night, we came home from the hospital. Both my parents are here, helping out with the kids, cooking, cleaning, and whatever else I need to make things go smoothly. It's so great to have to have them here!
Here's some pictures before Sophie dropped our camera and broke it! Whoops!

Oh my gosh, Ang! He's beautiful! He looks so healthy! Congratulations! How horrible you had a full day of labor before going in. With Micah, I was having horrible contractions for 36 hours, but they weren't close enough together! I'm grateful for the progress those contractions make, but it's so frustrating!!!!
