Blonde Hair and Red Heels

My adorable boy.

This is his freshly washed hair that shows how blonde it is.

I took this photo to see how small he is.

I bought these red shoes at a yard sale and Hailey thinks they're cool. I'm amazed at her coordination walking around in them.

Saturday night about 10pm my water broke and filled a couple of towels so we headed to the hospital. We were met with a frustrating experience of deja vu as they couldn't chemically test the fluid as amniotic. So, a few hours later they were set to send us home. However, after my experience with Hailey and knowing how dangerous it is to be sent home without fluid around the baby, I requested an ultrasound to confirm that his fluid was still intact. Being that it was 1am there was no one around to do the ultrasound so they kept us overnight and said they'd do one at 8:30am. However, at 7am the doctor came in and said that since we didn't know for sure whether or not it was the amniotic fluid and since I was only 3 days shy of 39 weeks it'd be safest just to induce. So, at 8am we started on pitocin and at 12:46pm Levi made his appearance. We came home around 3pm on Monday afternoon. It has been good to be home and with Hailey again. We're so thankful to wonderful friends who helped us with Hailey, brought us food, went shopping and even did my dishes. Not to sound cliche or anything, but I really feel like we've been sent angels as friends. We are so happy to have little Levi in our home. He is so peaceful and sweet.
