It took us forever to decide on his name! Even after the poll we did on our blog, we were still undecided. For the longest time we were going to name him William, but when he came out, it just didn't settle. In the end, Colton won the bid.After 10 hours of labor, we were blessed with a 9 lbs and 10 oz beautiful boy! Mike and I spent the week walking and walking, but didn't seem to be making any progress. Monday morning at 1:00 A.M I started having contractions, so we went to the hospital. I was well on my way. I got an epidural and absolutely loved it! I went from incredibly irritable to extremely peaceful. It was great. My mom was able to see the birth and loved every minute of it. Labor took longer than with Lydia, but Colton also weighed 3 pounds more than she did.
Lydia seems to be adjusting well. At first the only thing that she seemed to find at all interesting about him was his toes, but since then she has taken to him and loves to rub his head.
He has a high pitch squeal and beautiful blue eyes. I am feeling quite well and can only attribute it to help from the Lord. Granted I am tired, but that just comes with motherhood I think.
In addition to all this excitement, we found out we will be moving on Tuesday, so wish us luck!
