He's here


We finally did it! Nathan Paul Nelson decided to be nice to me and join us on Dec. 6th! He took long enough to get here(a long night at the hospital waiting and waiting and waiting!), butI'm so thankful he's here! He weighed in at a whopping 7lbs even and was 19 1/2" long. He has more hair than any of his sisters did(not saying much) and at first had a reddish tint! But now that he's home and trying to turn yellow, his hair is blonde! I think that he resembles Emma the most, but then he still just looks kind of like a little old man to me right now! He still doesn't think night time is for sleeping without me, but then a few days ago he didn't think I should sleep much at night time either, only difference is that a few days ago I could ignore him and go back to sleep and he couldn't wake any of us up by screaming!

But we are all thankful for him and trying to adjust to having a baby boy in the house (diaper changes are a strange thing). His sisters are loving (and mostly ignoring) him and his biggest sister Kassidy just loves to hold him!

Congratulations!! He sure is a cutie!! I'm glad he was nice, and came early for you. I hope you are feeling well, its hard to recover with lots of little ones to care for.
I hear you one the diaper changes! It was so wierd changing Emilee's diaper. It honestly took me months to adjust to a girl bottom.
Congrats again!!!

Yeah! We love having boys!! You'll get used to the changing, just wait until the circumcision (they had to do Tyler twice!!! tramatic)

Good luck. I will get you some clothes and such. Tyelr was a totally different season, but it is always nice to have things to use.

Congrats! It is always so nice to get them out from inside you! The diaper changing thing was weird for me too, I was afraid he would be peeing on me all the time, luckily it has only been a few times! I hope you are feeling well.

Cute little boy, Jess! He's a keeper. Looks like he'll get plenty of lovin' from his big sisters. Way to go! (PS--Boys are so much EASIER!!)
