It was 5:45 am on Sunday, November 8th when I woke up with intense contractions 4 minutes apart. I knew that this could possibly be the day. In fact, I prayed hard for this little guy to come asap, but not on Gray's birthday (I really hoped that the boys could each have their own special day). GOD IS SO AMAZING! I was able to have a nice enjoyable morning (got to shower AND have breakfast with the kids!). It was so comforting and such a blessing to have my folks here (they arrived Friday night to celebrate Gray's birthday) while Jeff & I were able to go to the hospital. Ok, so where was I? Oh yes, we arrived at the hospital around 7:30 am. My labor was quick and as smooth as could be. God really blessed us beyond our wildest imagination (and you know how wild my imagination can be!). Seriously, we are SO GRATEFUL! Gavin was born just 3 hours later at 10:26 am. He weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long (yep, I cook 'em big). Welcome to your new family, sweet Gavin! So excited that you're finally here! We love you!
