Baby Walter

The greatest blessing to our family! Walter was 8lbs 11 oz, and today at week two he weighed in at 9 lbs 12 oz. I have a bad feeling that all of my babies will be born toddler sized. :)

We have been greatly blessed to have a lot of family to love and support us! Thank you to everyone who called, visited, and prayed for us! We definitely needed the help.

Here are a few pictures for those who haven't been able to cuddle this handsome boy yet!

we would have posted a picture of us going into the hospital but i was in a lot of pain and probably would have yelled at seth if he would have suggested a photo op.

so here is a picture of us five days before walter was born, this was the day we celebrated Seth's birthday at the Call's Sunday dinner. I made a cake and specifically decided not to focus in on it; however, you will notice that it is present in the picture. it may or may not have looked very similar to the cake that Hagrid made for Harry Potter.

So I never thought I would walk into the hospital when I would be having labor contractions but I did. Seth offered to pull up to the front and get a wheelchair but I was too worried that the nurses were going to check me and I would be dilated to a two like at my doctors apt four days earlier. I was in pain for sure, every 4-5 min lasting 30 seconds but I guess Hollywood makes everything look a lot more dramatic.

This is us, probably an hour before delivery! Look how happy we are, I would have been screaming at this point had it not been for the epidural. I did notice before the epidural that with my contractions I felt a lot better if I just didn't talk, move, or think. Once I got the epidural I could not believe how good I felt! 

I pushed for about twenty minutes and yay! we became parents to a healthy baby boy

post hospital pictures.....

we were trying to get a good picture of him next to this cute rhino we were given by Sherie Dotson and couldn't quite put him next to it so here is our best attempt to measure 1 week old walter

Amanda and Chase came and visited with their two precious children yesterday. We just had to get a picture of the two baby cousins. Baby walter is a few weeks younger than baby logan but I can see him outweighing his cousin very soon.....

Last but not least! Seth is the cutest dad! he is always so willing to help out with the baby even at 3 in the morning when he has class at 8 am! I love him and I am so grateful for a husband that loves hanging out with his baby boy
