DALLAS DUSTY
was born
Friday Aug 14th @ 10:25 am
7 lbs 12 oz
19 1/2 in long



We went to the hospital at 4:00 am. It was all planned. I didn't actually get on the pit, until 6:15. I got an epidural around 9:00 and he was born at 10:25. I only pushed twice. It was really easy and relaxing. He was crying at first, but for the most part he was really calm.



He looks so relaxed and sweet!



He is so sweet. I forget how little they are. I can't believe I have 4 kids. Life is crazy at my house right know. I think the scariest thing for me is going to get grocery's. I might have to start going at midnight.


The kids are so excited. They can't get enough of him.



Brance loves holding Dallas. He will hold him for over an hour at a time. He is such a good big brother.



Morgan also loves to hold the baby. She was so excited to see the baby. She missed her mom a lot and was very happy to have us home.


Jace could care less about the baby. He holds him for about 10 sec and he is done. He dose like to kiss him on the back of the head. When he came in the room his eyes were huge. He came over to me and gave me a hug and the he wanted grandma. It took him a while the get use to the hospital room.






We are so excited to have him here and healthy. He is so sweet and a really good boy.
