Our precious little Carson decided to join our family on Tuesday, June 7th at 9:30 pm. He weighed 6 lbs and 6 ounces and measured 19 inches long. We had an amazing midwife and nurse who were both so encouraging and supportive of natural birth. I don't know how I would have done it without them and especially Brandon. They all looked like angels to me. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life to bring this little guy into the world.
This picture was taken at our check-up just a few hours before Carson was born. I was having contractions earlier that morning, but they had slowed quite a bit, so we went on with our day as normal. At our check-up, I was dilated to a 5 and 95% effaced. We went into the hospital a couple of hours after we returned home at about 5 pm and delivered 4 1/2 hrs later.
Little Carson right after birth. He had the cord wrapped around his neck twice and had one of his arms up and ready to enter the world.
He loves his daddy and looks just like him.
We sure like our precious boy!!!
