Christmas has come early...

Christmas came early this year for us!!!

Leo James Waldron

Born 12-12-12 at 4:55 am

7 lbs 6 oz     20 inches long

Our little Leo was due Christmas Day,

but after a long 10 days of early labor, he was brought into the world on

December 12, 2012.

His Daddy is very proud of the 12-12-12 birthday!

We are all so in love with this little man!  

This pregnancy was definitely the most challenging for me, which in turn probably meant more challenging for the whole family.  It was the pregnancy that made me understand why women always complain about pregnancy!  It was also the pregnancy I worried more about my health and the baby.  I went to the hospital 2 times thinking he would be born, only to be sent home still in labor and so disappointed   I am so happy that there were no major complications and he was born healthy and happy and so darn cute!

I am taking a chance and posting pictures I would normally (because I know I don't look that great).

I know I will want to look back and feel the emotion of that day, giving birth to our youngest child.

He will be the baby of the family forever, and the other kids have eased him right into that role.

They are spoiling him with hugs and kisses and so much love.

It was such an emotional birth for me.  Right before he was born Josh and I looked at each other and I cried "It's our last baby," with tears running down my face.  My doctor in return asked if I wanted to prolong labor and take a few more hours.  That made me laugh but also gave me a burst of energy to meet our baby boy.

20 minutes of pushing (because he was bigger than our other babies...) and he was here. 

Here he is!  Our handsome little Leo.

Having a tiny sweet newborn around is so much better than being pregnant. :)

After he was born I ended up back in the hospital for some minor treatments.

It was so hard to be separated from my tiny baby, kids at home and husband.

We are all at home anxiously awaiting Christmas which will be here in 7 days!

Merry Christmas!
