He is Here!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post done, but I have 2 kids now! Not a very good excuse but I am using it anyway.

Bodee Brian Bingham is here. He arrived at 8:02 on Tuesday evening the 9th of March. Weighing 7lbs 12ozs and measuring 19 inches long. He is perfect!

We went to the hospital at 7am and they started me. I was dialated to a 2. Dr came at noon to break my water and I was still at a 2. Mind you this was being on pit for 4 hours. They came back at 2pm and tried again, this time was successful (I was at a 3). Things continued to move slow but by 4pm they came in and told me that if I did not get my epidural then I would have to wait a couple hours. I was at a 5 by then so I gave them the go ahead. We did some funky rotating and was finally able to be ready to push by 7:30ish. 4 or 5 good pushes and he was here! Brian went out and got Kristian before I was all cleaned up and he came in while dr was still stiching me up, not really impressed with what ever that boy dr was doing to mom but he got distracted by his brother. Notice the clip on his belly button, well Kristian thought it was his pee pee and was VERY upset. Wanted it off and now.
This experience was much different then when Kristian was born. After 26 hours I really don't rememeber any of it. Take it from me, 12 hours is MUCH better.

We came home on Thursday evening. I was glad to get out of there. Bodee was a bit fussy when we got home and Kristian wanted to know why. I told him that Bodee was just not sure where he was and Kristian got right down by him and said 'This is your home Bodee, and we are your owners.' He is used to having a dog. We set him straight that we are his family and not owners and we are all good now.

He loves his brother! He holds him every morning for about 20 mins, and is all about kisses. If he is crying he is always right there to see what is wrong. In fact he gets sad when he gets up in the morning and finds out Bodee was up crying in the night because he did not hear him and how can he find out what is wrong if he does not know he was upset. I love my boys and am so excited to have my WHOLE family home and well. Thanks to all of those who have checked in on us. Here are a few more of my favorite picutes of the last couple weeks.

Grandma Gifford is funny - everytime she walks in the rooms she takes him from who ever has and says 'I have not held him yet'

This is a 4 generation picture. Love you Grandma Randall!
