Graydon is a great big brother. He loves to help out. He has his moments of course, he's two:)

"Ewww!" Graydon says





Sucking his thumb.

He's Here

Well he's here. God is so good. We are so blessed. Tuesday I woke up early with strong but irregular contractions. Labor was likely starting but either way we went into the hospital for our scheduled induction. Having already been 4cm we were able to elect an induction instead of a c-section. We checked in at 5, water was broken by the OBGYN at 6 and by 10 we were fully dilated and ready to push! We pushed for an hour and once his big head was out the rest flew out! He was 1lb heavier and over 2" longer than Graydon. The nurses and doctors were wonderful and 2 days later we were released. I had a pretty significant tear and he is slightly jaundice. But we are both doing well and happy to be home. He is an energetic nurser and laid back baby.

Keeping Busy

Still no baby, I should have known when I picked the name Denton that this baby would be stubborn like his namesake:). He is in no hurry to get here. At least he has been kind, it's been a fairly easy pregnancy.
Keeping busy, made him a blanket adapted from a quick jelly roll quilt pattern:)

Keeping Busy

An easy pattern given to me at my shower from the Friendship Quilters Guild:)
Cowboy Booties...
A pair for Denton and a pair for a friend.

Keeping Busy
