He is absolutely perfect! We went in to be induced at 6 am on Thursday the 1st. They broke my water at around 7:30 and we waited to see if I would start labor on my own. Didn't really do much of anything so they gave me pitocin at about 9:30. That started it! He was born at 12:52. I did not have an epidural and only pushed 3 times. I feel really pretty good now. He is so sweet and is loved so much by his big sisters.
Sophie of course is so wonderful with him and happy to have her new baby brother. I was a little worried about how G.G. would react, but no need for that. She has been really sweet and it seems like she just understands he is part of our family now. She always walks around saying Daddy, Mommy, Sissy, G.G., naming all the members of her family. Sophie told me that while we were still at the hospital, she was walking around the house saying Daddy, Mommy, Sissy, G.G. and BABY!
Josh is just in love with his little man. He finally has another guy in the house to counteract all this estrogen flying around!
And of course Mommy adores him.
I feel like our family is complete.
