WE are so very excited to introduce you to our precious buddle of joy - Nathan Joel Fanning. He weighed in at 8 lb 1 oz., and he is 19 inches long. He almost had Natty beat by a pound, but Natty was an inch longer. Here are some of our favorite pictures of Nathan-Day!
Being induced wasn't as conveient as people make it out to be. Our appointment was at 8 A.M., but we were still at our apartment at 10 A.M., when we called in the morning and there were no beds. Finally arounid 10:30, we got the green light to head over to the hospital. I have to say, the drive there was weird. A lot different than when I was pregnant with Natty. First off, it was freakist driving to the hospital in labor, but that morning, it was even more freakist driving to the hospital NOT in labor - an eerie silence/calm.
We got to the hospital, got hooked up to all the machines, and the party got started. Surprisingly, I was already in labor, but wasn't feeling the contractions. I got to the hospital, was at a good 3 according to the nurse, and surprised her when I said I wasn't feeling any contractions.

Well, that good news ended after my water was broke and I felt a lot of labor - back labor. Yuck! I had a weird epidural that only numbed the left side - that felt really weird. But at 16:36, Nathan arrived! Overall, it was a very relaxed and calm day. Tim was awesome support, and above all, the Lord's hand was upon everyone who worked with us and has provided us with a healthy, handsome baby boy.
He was a tough guy! He did not want to cry for anyone! I wasn't thrilled about being induced, but the moment I saw him, I was just so thankful he was finally here. He is the most handsome baby I've ever laid eyes on, and I am so in love with my little man.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day...

Proud Big Sissy Natty. She LOVES to hold him and give him kisses. She is a FANTASTIC big sister.
Thankful Mommy
