Well, we've got some catching up to do! March 23, 2011 marked one of the most exciting days in mine and Tyler's lives...we welcomed our son, Hayden Graham Key, into the world! My hope is to update the blog weekly, at the very least, with a picture of Hayden and a recap of exciting things from the week before. I'm going to put the highlights and picture on a 4x6 card so they can be printed and added to his baby book. To bring us up to date (how has it already been almost 2 weeks?!), here are the details of the beginning of our adventure. :)
My contractions started after a fabulous "last supper" out at one of our favorite restaurants. Around 11:30pm, on the night of Hayden's due date, I got out of bed and spent the next couple of hours trying to figure out if they were real contractions....the kind worth waking up my doctor in the middle of the night. :) We called the doctor and headed to the hospital around 4:30am and thankfully I was far enough along to be admitted. I happily got my epidural around 7:30am and was able to rest a little as the morning progressed. After just over an hour of pushing, our handsome guy made his grand entrance into the world at 3:18pm. He weighed 7 pounds 1.7 ounces and was 20 inches long. Both sets of grandparents and his fabulous aunts were all there to welcome him!

SO in LOVE...
Our Handsome Little Guy on his First Day :)
The whole day seems like a bit of a blur already, but our first night as a family of 3 was so special. We brought in sushi for dinner (this momma was SO excited to be eating raw fish again) and enjoyed lots of snuggling and loving. We had so much to look forward to and we were already loving every bit of being a Mom and Dad!
What does Tess think of her beautiful baby brother?
