We are so excited to have Baby Colt finally here! He is the sweetest little guy and we are so excited to have him in our family! On Wednesday morning, my water broke about 4:30am and we made the hour trip up to the hospital in a hurry. Luckily they were a little slow in the Labor & Delivery department and I had my epidural within 15 minutes of getting in my room! What a relief! When I got to the hospital I was dilated to a 6 and half and hour later I was fully dilated at a 10. 5 contractions of pushing and Colt was here! It was such an easy delivery compared to Troy (2 years ago I thought a 6 hour delivery was great, but this time a 3 hour delivery was even better!) I am feeling absolutely great which is a huge blessing. Colt was 8 pounds 2 ounces & 19 1/2 inches long which is HUGE for being born 3 1/2 weeks early (the same week Troy was born) Even though he was plenty big, he had a few signs that showed he was born a little early. (Near Term is what they call it) He had some extra mucus in his lungs they had to deal with immediately, he had to be on some oxygen because his levels were low, he had low blood sugar levels and he has jaundice. Over all, nothing too serious that couldn't easily be dealt with. I am so lucky to have my mom here visiting which has been a huge help, especially with Troy. Troy is so sweet and gentle with Troy but is being a little mean to his mommy. :( I'm sure he will get used to our new family arrangment very soon! Well more pictures will be posted on here so keep checking!!! Now everyone cheer on those Colts (one of Baby Colt's namesakes) on Super Bowl Sunday, we will be cheering on Payton here in Ephraim! This is their year!

What another fine looking young man -- way to go Super Mom and Super Dad. Looks like Colt is going to have the same barrel chest as Troy and Kev. And I like Colt's little doo-rag. Give him a big kiss from his Oklahoma Papa.
Congratulations!! He is so cute. It was fun to come and see you guys. I'll have to come visit in Ephraim!
