Baby Nixon

Nixon Creg Howell was born April 9, 2012. He weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. My labor went fast (five hours) and was overall a really great experience. I was a little bummed about being induced but really it doesn't matter much in the end. He's so great. I love him! Welcome Baby Nixon!!

This is what Max looked like the day Nixon was born. I thought I'd take a picture of him before I left for the hospital.

TODAY. One week from my due date. But about a week past what I thought I'd go... This time I've been dilated for quite a while, got my membranes stripped, still no baby. Hmmm, dang. My body still doesn't know how to go on its own I guess. Ok little buddy, you have 36 hours to give in and then you're coming! Next post, baby Nixon...
