He's Here!

Baby Brother decided that the c-section scheduled for Tuesday, March 9th was not going to work. My water broke Sunday morning, March 7th and RR was born at 1:49pm. He was 7lbs 5oz and 20inches long. He has dark hair, but not as much as his siblings had. He is darling. Like his brother, he had a hard time regulating his blood sugar and has been admitted to the NICU. His stay should be short and I'm trying to just rest while he's there.
R thinks he's pretty cool, M wouldn't come near either of us for a while, but was excited to hold him before they left for the night.

My super duper cousin Summer came and picked up the kids as soon as I called and was a HUGE lifesaver. She is also an amazing guesser and won the baby pool. Thanks so much Summer.

Oh my goodness, how exciting to have a early surprise!! Congrats and I can't wait to see a picture of the little guy!

Um..so did you have a VBAC or did they still do a c-section when you got to the hospital? Just curious, because I have to have c-sections from here on out.

Congrats again!

Jessie, they still did the section. I felt good that I had gone into labor, though. I felt like he was ready to come and I wasn't just forcing him out. :)

Summer is pretty super! I'm so happy that he is here, and excited to get to meet him. It seems too soon that he isn't going go the the youngest Olsen very much longer. Crazy! I can't wait to see pictures!

Congratulations! I hope things are going well for you as a mother of three! I guess the real change will come when you and the baby are at home and adjusting to life. I would like to drop something by when you feel up to having visitors. You'll have to e-mail me your apt number. New babies are so precious-straight from heaven. I am so glad he is here and healthy for the most part!
