And then we were five

Our 3rd boy is here and our life has been hectic and busy and amazing all at the same time. We've survived the first week as a family of five. God is good. Thank you so much for all your sweet comments and well wishes.

Before making his appearance, our little Bean gave us 2 more false alarms . It was weird, I would have contractions they would get really close, sometimes painful, then they would slow back down. I was sure it was happening and would go to the hospital only for nothing to happen. It was nerve wrecking for days. I guess like my Dr said, every pregnancy is different. Bean definitely made his mark with this false labor business :). Way to be different my son.

Finally on 28 February, the contractions were painful and close I just knew it had to be it. We went to the hospital again and then they slowed down. I was so bummed because at that point we were 5 days past our due date and I just wanted to get this baby out. We went to our appointment and when the Dr told me that I was 5cm and would be having a baby that day we were in heaven.

We checked in the hospital around 9am and he was here at 12:54pm. I was able to get my epidural and enjoy a few hours with my hubby while we waited for our 3rd son. He arrived safely into our arms after only a few pushes. I swear, I have been blessed with fairly easy and fast deliveries and I thank God everyday for that blessing.

Skin to skin with my baby, we gotta keep these Winter babies warm somehow. Complete happiness, no where else I would rather be. Wish I could bottle this feeling.

We are so happy that our boy arrived safely into our arms. Meeting our 3rd son was just as amazing as meeting our other babies. I just love that no matter how many times we go through this baby making business, each time feels so special. Welcome to the world Bean, we are so happy to have you here with us, you are the perfect addition to our family.
