Evan Justus Payton

Born Dec. 30th, 2009 (12:20am)
8 lbs. 12 oz, 21 inches long

Condensed birth story: I was induced at 11am on Dec. 29th. They broke my water at 5pm that evening and finally things started happening! The rest is just breathing and pushing (ah, if only it was really as simple as that just sounded!). Enjoy the pictures...




Born! He came out face up, as he had turned over right before he finished his journey (ouch!).



First bath. It was about 2:30am at this time. After bath time the nurse did his footprints. She was tired too as we discovered she did his left foot twice, when my post-partum nurse was reviewing paper work for our discharge!



Mommy, Titus and Evan. No wonder Evan seems so incredibly little. What was my littlest last week (who is a solid 30 lbs.) dwarfs his 8lb. little brother.



Daddy and Evan. I have to say that my hubby is a wonderful coach, who works just as hard emotionally as I do physically in the labor/delivery process. I am so thankful for him and couldn't have made it without him.


Eyes!
