Colin was born Wednesday, November 17th 2010. He was born at 12:14 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long.
Labor and delivery was for the most part uneventful which I consider to be a blessing. I started contracting Tuesday morning around 12:30 and did that all through the night. My contractions never were closer than 10 minutes apart so I just stayed in bed enduring the pain! At about 7:15 in the morning I noticed that I was bleeding a little and so I called the hospital. They told me that they wanted to check me. By 8:30 I was at the hospital being monitored. At 12:14 p.m. baby Colin was with us. I feel very blessed that things went well and Colin is doing great. I too am feeling great, recovery has been awesome, it helps when I only needed two stitches.
It is amazing how quickly such a little person can change your life. I thought my life was pretty great with Davis and Kate (and of course Mark) and didn't think it could get better, but now that Colin is with us I realize that it did get even better! It is as though there was a whole other part of me that has been waiting for this little guy for a long time and I can't imagine going through this life without him as well. I have enjoyed every minute with him and know that he is a miracle sent to me by Heavenly Father. How grateful I am to be a wife and mother and have 3 beautiful children and a husband that loves me!!
CONGRATULATIONS! I was so excited to see pictures and hear the story. I am glad things are gong well, great name BTW! All of your kids are so darling:)
