Boston entered into this world on Wednesday, May 13th at 7:10 a.m. He was 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and 22 inches long. What a blessing it has been for him to come into our family! The delivery and the hospital could not have gone any better. I started having contractions at about 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning. I started timing them and they started coming so fast! We decided that we should not wait to head for the hospital because I could tell they were getting harder and the timing of the contractions were getting close fast. Our friend and neighbor across the street came over so we did not have to wake Elsie up and stayed until my dad could get here. Thanks Rebecca and dad:) The labor went so well and was so much easier compared to Elsie! The labor from start to finish was 4 hours! Not too bad:) I already feel so great.
We are so grateful that everything went so well and that he is healthy! He is such a joy to have and I am completely in love with him. He has been such a great baby so far and I am just soaking it all in. At night I love the time I have alone with him so that I can give him all of my attention! As for Elsie she is definitely jealous!!!! She has been acting out a lot more lately and is not too happy that she has to share her time with me. It has turned her world upside down. I know over time she will love him and get used to him and they will be the best of friends one day. I know it will be a huge adjustment for all of us, but so completely worth it! We brought out the swing and Elsie really wanted a turn in it. She actually fell asleep in it! It was so sweet. She loves it and needs her turn everyday now.
I have been so grateful for Justin and how much he has helped with the kids, the house, and all of the little things that always need to be done. I want to thank my mother in-law, Heidi for helping out with Elsie while I was in the hospital. You did so much to help us out! Also, thank you to my mom and dad for helping with Elsie and being there for me.

Congratulations! He is so beautiful. I am glad that it went so well for you. Someone gave me great advice when I had my second. They said that when all the babies needs are met and they are sleeping you say, "No Boston, not right now, I am going to....play, read, help, what ever fits....Elsie right now." The first hears so often that you need to help the baby, that it is nice for them to hear it the opposite way! I have done it with each of my childern, and it has seemed to work with each! Before long she won't remember life without him! :) I am so happy for your sweet family!
