    1. Baby is finally here! Joshua was born yesterday at 5:22 pm weighing in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces. His head is a whopping 16 inches!! I did end up being induced, mostly because of my husbands work schedule (gotta love the military), and it went very similar to when I was induced with the twins.

    2. Having one 8 pound baby was so much worse than two 6 pounders!!! Everyone said it was the size of his head that made it so much worse/harder. Oh well, luckily the worst part is over!

    I will post a picture when we get home. For now, I'm keeping all his cuteness to myself. :)

    Thank you, everyone! We are definitely happy he is finally here (after a little encouragement..) and healthy. He's eating super well and only lost 4 ozs of his birth weight upon leaving the hospital. I had a little trouble with extensive bleeding, not quite to the point of officially hemorrhaging but it was close. So I had to stay in the hospital a little longer than I wanted, but understandably so.

    Anyway, on to the important part: Pictures! (Hopefully I link these right..)
