Baby James is here!

Last night we put the kids to bed at Nana and grandpa's house and headed home to finish packing for the hospital.  we went to bed early as we had to be at the hospital by 5:30 am today.

Things went well this morning,  We got to the hospital on time, got prepped for surgery and at 7:39am this morning James Ivan Carlson was born weighing 7lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long.  he has fuzzy blond hair and blue eyes.  Recovery went really well, and it wasn't long before we were put up in our room.  It is a nice big one at the end of the hall.  I spent most of the day resting, the drugs really took it out of me!  James is by far the quietest of our three babies, content to sleep and chill.  He hasn't cried since they first pulled him out.  We are still working on breast feeding, right now he has very little interest in eating but is content all the same.

Mom brought the kids by around 1pm.  They were both THRILLED to meet their new baby brother.  it was so cute to see them holding and loving on James.  They are going to be fantastic with him!  Wes was so proud to be allowed to hold the baby and marveled over all his tiny pieces.
