praise: dalton barrett is finally here!
prayer: please pray for us as we adjust to being a family of 5.
playfulness: some of you have been waiting for my version, so here it is:
we arrived at the hospital at 8:10. now...my expectations of what was going to happen was based on auburn's delivery, which, was far from what happened. i had expected to go in, have my antibiotic that i'm required to have, water broken, and then given the pitosin and have the baby by noon. what really happened was: get there, find out that they weren't sure of the doctor's orders, doctor in a meeting until 11:00. so at 11:30 given first round of antibiotic, told i would need two rounds and the second one couldn't be given until 2:30. because of the second round not being given until 2:30, my water couldn't be broken until 3:15. thankfully, they were able to give me the pitosin early though. so... all in all, i really was only in active labor from 3:15 to 4:27. not much to complain about there!!!! =) once i got over the dissappointment of things not happening as i had mentally prepared for, things went well.
anyways, dalton is a cutie. he looks very much like landon did. at some point, we will post comparison pictures. they're quite amazing. dave and i both think that dalton had some differences start to show up today-now that all the wrinkles are disappearing.
kids love him. they woke up-ran out to the living room-and both asked if they could hold him. auburn has declared him "my dalton." he's already had some fun alert times. i love watching him look around.
anyway...i'm feeling a little dizzy (probably due to the fact that i've had about 8 hours of sleep since wednesday morning). think i better go tie up some loose ends and try to get some shut eye.
stay tuned.
