Colt Jeffry
I know its been way too long, but trying to juggle a newborn and a busy 2 year old has been intersting to figure out :) Colt Jeffry was born on Nov 21st (Hudson was born on the 12th so they are opposite each other, fun huh) at 8:10 am. He was 6 lbs, 19 inches long. I went into labor on Sunday evening, but when we got to the hospital I wasnt progressed quite far enough so Jayson and I spent an hour walking around the completely empty halls to progress my labor. My doctor broke my water at 1:30 and everything went kinda fast from there. I was so glad that I was able to feel Colt be born, I was so numb when I had Hudson I had no idea if I was pushing or not. Sorry if this is TMI but it was such a wonderful experience for me. I was able to feel when my body knew to push. I was only a 6 at 5 am but then at 730 I felt so much pressure I told Jayson to check and make sure he wasn't coming out that second haha. The nurse checked me and said oh! Your a ten, let's get this baby here! Our doc got there super fast and was so wonderful to just let me lead and push when I felt I needed to. I started pushing at 8 and he was here 10 minutes later. I also have felt a much better recovery this time around, with Hudson I wasn't able to get up for several hours so it was nice to be able to walk around very soon after. We love this next addition to our family. He was a little jaundice like Hudson was, on Thanksgiving he had to sit under the billibed lights, that was no fun not being able to snuggle him very often. We are definitely having fun adjusting to life with 2 boys. Hudson isn't quite sure even still what to think of his brother. One minute he is giving him knuckles and kisses the next Colt will cry out and Hudson yells don't! haha, once Colt gets bigger I'm sure they will be best of friends. Well, here are some pictures...I will hopefully be posting some more later on this week when I get some time. Hope everyone is having a great December!

I am so proud of you! How is the breastfeeding going this time around? Hop its good. Good job Mama! Beautiful boys you have!
So did you not have an epidural this time? That stinks you were too numb with Hudson. My epidural with Malloree was perfect because it took the pain away, but I could still move my legs pretty well and after a couple pushes I could tell when the contractions were coming and could push well. Crossing my fingers it works well this time too! Congrats again- your boys are so cute!
Congrats on the new little one! I hope everything is going well for you and your family! :)
Kerri-mbreastfeeding is going well. I'm still pumping like a mad woman, and he is still getting a bottle sometimes, but for the most part I feel like our hard days are over. :) it's definitely different the second time.
Kym- I did have an epidural this time, only half an hour before I started pushing, it didn't have time to take the full effect, I wasn't numb, it just stopped my back labor from hurting so bad so it was perfect. I'm so excited for you and I hope it goes well again!
