Jay Levi Butler

7 lbs 1 oz, 20" long
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.

I am so thankful that everything worked out as good as it did! I will never know what it feels like to have your water break on its own...
He is so beautiful! He definately is a Butler! You look amazing after just giving birth, just like you did with Hailey! Congratulations on 2 beautiful children! I hope to see him and the family soon!
You are right, you have been given angels as friends. Since we (family) aren't able to be close by, Heavenly Father knows what you need and has blessed your lives with great people who love and care about you!
We love you!
Ross and Amber and family
He is so cute!!!! Congrats guys!!!!
Congrats!! He is so beautiful. I am glad it all went well. let us know if you need anything.
Congratulations Corrine! He's a cutie and Hailey looks so proud. I'm due with our little boy on Dec. 27th. You'll have to let me know how the girl-boy combo works. I'm scared to raise a little boy! Should be fine I'm sure. Y'all look so happy and I'm excited for you. Congrats again!
Oh dear me, that first picture of Baby Jay is so sweet. He is a doll.
So glad that things (eventually) went well at the hospital, and most of all, that you have that little person outside and not inside of you anymore!
Matt and Corrine,
Your family is so cute. I love you very much. Hailey looks like she is glad that she can now see the baby that she has been feeling moving in her mommy's tummy. You will have a blast with them both when you get feeling better if you aren't already. I am so glad you have friends who will help out till MOm gets there here in a couple days. I love you and thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. WE love you so much.
Congrats you guys! he is so cute! I we cant wait to meet him!
Corrine,
I finally found you. Laura gave me your blog and it has been fun to see the changes in your cute family. I can't believe that you have 2 children. Wasn't it just yesterday that you were at QK??? Congratulations!

Congratulations to your family!
Yea, We are so glad Levi made it safe and sound. Sorry about the frustrating experience. Lame. He looks darling and so do you! Congratulations!
congrats and way to stick your ground...mommies know best
I was wondering who would win the 'race'! Looks like you did! You were a couple of weeks ahead of me, so that's to be expected, I guess.
congrats! He's a cutie and you look great even just after having a baby! (How do you do it?!)
Just came back to show Ryan Baby Levi (I said Baby Jay in the last comment...whoops), and I had another thought...can I please get "How To Look Incredible After Giving Birth" lessons from you? You look fantastic!
Good luck with these first few days, nights and weeks! He really is a doll.
he is so sweet! Congrats! Can't wait to meet him in person.
A huge congrats you guys!!! What a sweet little man. Hope you are all doing well:) Take care and thanks for sharing the great pictures!
Congratulations, guys! We are so excited for you. Mom and baby look great!
I know I have told you this already, but CONGRATS! He is such a good lookin little guy and we are so happy everything went well with the delivery! Please let us know if you need anything!
Congratulations Corrine!! I'm so happy that everything worked out well and you've got your family safe and sound at home! What a blessing! I hope everything's going well with 2 at home!
Congratulations on a beautiful baby boy!! I'm glad everything went well!
Congrats you guys! We hadn't heard that you had the baby so we are glad to see pics of cute little Levi! I love the name! He is so tiny and soo cute! We can't wait to meet him someday! Hopefully sooner than later!
