Welcome to the World!

(This is actually me just before the surgery, but you get the idea.)

Here are some fun pictures of us. Link is doing really great, and has surprised us a lot since he has come into the world. As you may have noticed he's much SMALLER than the doctor predicted. Another funny thing, while they were doing my epidural they couldn't find the heartbeat for about a half an hour, very scary. So, they called the doctor in to find it, and he FLIPPED! He went breach at 39 weeks just minutes before surgery. Who does that?! After they found the heartbeat the doctor said; "uh-oh. He's breach. We're going to have to do a c-section." Ha, ha ha. Very funny. Just slice me open and let me go home. Just kidding everything went perfectly. The doctor told me I have a "beautiful uterus" which is the complement of a lifetime. Anyway, that's the majority of my birthing story, and here are some fun pictures. Note: Nate got some SWEET pictures of the surgery, but I didn't post them here for the faint of heart, but if you want to see them e-mail me or come on over because they are kind of cool.

Reid meeting little brother for the first time, and giving him kisses!

At home in the swing!

I love this picture. They're both snoozing and have the same look on their face. too cute.

Anyway, everything is great. We have had a lot of help from friends and family, but will soon be on our own. Kind of scary, but Link seems to be a pretty sweet baby so far, so we will keep you posted!

I am so thrilled that I got to see you and of course Link while in Utah. He is perfect! I too think you have a beautiful uterus if only I could say the same about mine...
I asked Jack who he enjoyed seeing the most while in Utah and he said "reid!" Yes, although he saw the reidster for just a few moments it was enough to reconnect with his little buddy.
Take care and give me a call when life calms down, I need updates!

Mary said...

Congratulations! He looks perfect! So I'm kind of wondering what constitutes a "beautiful uterus"... Color? Shape? Not that I doubt, of course. :)

Welcome to the world, Link! He looks just like the family! He's adorable! I'm so glad things went so well. You sound great... if you can figure that out through someone posting. :o) Please let me know if there is anything we can do! I would love to bring dinner by! I'm in the middle of finals, but I'll call you later this week to find out when a good time would be. Congratulations!

Congratulations Carlee and Nate! Both of your boys are sooooo cute.
Going from 1 to 2 was scary for me, too... going from 2 to 3 was terrifying... there are no words for going from 3 to 4, but we made it and everybody is alive and well after 1 year (I would have never guessed it!). You guys will do great.
