Welcome to the world, Tate!

In labor...

Tate Benjamin is here

We have had a wonderful and exciting week! On Monday morning at 8:50 am, our little boy, Tate Benjamin arrived after a quick labor. I only had to push three times to get him here and actually feel really good...nothing like I felt after Peyton was born! He weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. We came home on Wednesday morning and are getting used to having a baby again! Peyton is a wonderful big brother who is full of love and kisses for his baby brother. Ben's mom is here this week and next and my mom just left today...we are so lucky to have family who can come help us out since Ben has to be in Maryville!

I will post pictures very soon. I am exhausted and am going to go to bed tonight, but promise to get them on here tomorrow!

Happy Easter

Today is Easter! We got up and went to 8:00 church....it was packed. It is funny how many people go to church only on Christmas and Easter. Then we got a few groceries at Wal-Mart and came home to see what the Easter Bunny left for Peyton! He had a great time finding all of the eggs filled with money for his piggy bank. We went to an Easter Egg Hunt in Olpe yesterday and he got his share of candy...so we did not want to over do it! It is also Ben's birthday today, so we have been celebrating that all weekend with his favorite red cake! Aunt Judi was here all last week to help me and make sure I was not alone just in case the baby decided to come. She packed up TONS of stuff for us, took great care of Peyton during the day while I worked, and was woderful company. Peyton adopted her as Grandma and called her Grandma everyday. It was very sweet!

We thought maybe the baby would decide to come this weekend, but so far, no such luck. At my doctor's appointment on Wedensday, I was dilated to 3 and 50% effaced....so I really thought the baby might be here by now. He/she has dropped and Dr. Cook was pushing on the baby's head. (SO weird!) My mom is coming down tomorrow to stay with me this coming week, so maybe we will meet this little one soon....who knows! I do know that if I have not had the baby by April 28th, I will be induced, so that is good to know.

I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter! Take care.
