It all started Wednesday night. I began having contractions at midnight and couldn’t get any sleep but they 10 minutes apart from each other so I couldn’t really go to the hospital yet. The next day I felt so horrible I decided to go to the mall and walk for a couple of hours.
Nothing happened until 10 at night when my water decided to break. The kids had been on bed for 2 hours by then and we had to wake them up to take them to grandma’s house.
We got to the hospital by midnight and got ready to have the baby, except the baby decided to go to sleep after I got my epidural so it was until 4:40 am that he made his appearance to this world.
I was so tired by then, I went 36 hours without any sleep but it was all worth it.
Daniel was 36 weeks when he was born but he weighed 7.7 lbs. making him our biggest boy.

He loves to suck on his thumb
The next day Daniel and I had some very anxious visitors
The kids proudly displaying their big brother and sister bracelets
Me and Daniel enjoying our time in the hospital. I think if the beds were not so uncomfortable I could have stayed there longer
Andrew and Josh taking a good look at their baby brother. Andrew had to make sure he counted all important parts like his ears, mouth and nose
The view of the fountain from my room. Spencer took the kids for a walk around it and I could see them all from my window
The most important people in my life
Our last day at the hospital was so sad. This was the last time I got to be there and bring a baby home with me. Here is Danny on his first car seat ride
