Introducing....

Our sweet baby boy, Hyrum Richard! 

He was born June10th at 8:51pm, and weighed 7 lbs 10 oz, and was 21 inches long.  His birth is a miracle to me, and I have yet to decide if I want to share it. The part I will share, is he was breech at my 38 week appointment, and due to his position there was no way to flip him safely in the womb.  The safest way to have him born, for both him and me, was to have a C-section.  We scheduled the C-section for June 10th, and then when I was being prepped for the C-section they did an ultrasound, only to realize that he had flipped and was head down.  We decided to break my water and he was born almost 4 hours later.  I am so grateful that he came safely and that I didn't have to have a C-section.  My little miracle! Here are a few pictures from his birth and afterwards.

 I still can't believe how big he was.  He was 13 oz heavier than Claire, who previously had been my heaviest. He is my longest though.

 Our first family picture as a family of 6.  The kids were so excited to meet him!  And they love Hyrum so much.  I feel so blessed.

Welcome to our family Hyrum!  We love you!
