Introducing...

Barrett Martin! Isn't he cute?!? Okay well he looks a little like he was JUST born but scroll down there are a couple more pictures.

As you some of you know, I don't like using super common names or repeat names in our families. This was hard considering the majority of the 40 some odd cousins on Jeremy's side are boys. As well as the majority are boys on my side too.

So first let me say it took us over 24 hrs to choose this name and it probably would have taken longer but I was tired and wanted it over with. Barret was a name I found but it was actually on my "reserve" list but it went straight to the top of Jeremy's list. When it came down to it he just looked like a Barret to us.

Martin is after my Father, who is amazing :) When I called and talked to my mom she actually told me her grandfather was also named Martin.


















So let's see...facts. He was born September 1st they said he was obviously overdue (like I hadn't figured that out lol.) I actually started contractions that morning at about 3am but I just waited since we were going in at 6. By the time they hooked me up to all the monitors and stuff I was 3 mins apart in my contractions and at a 4. They broke my water then let things run there course.

Barret was born at 12:51 pm (Jer just told me...I was little preoccupied to notice the time.) He weighed 8lbs 12oz and measured 20 and 1/4 inches.



















Though not as quick as Addie, it still only took 2o min of pushing before I got to see him. When he first came out I thought he had really light curly hair but after he was clean up it was a med-dark brown and just a little wavy.








I did have some complications but it all worked out in the end and both I and the baby are healthy and happy. We actually got to come home the next day/today (I will miss the chef but super happy about being home)




















Addie seems to like him (so far.) But when he starts crying she like to keep her distance. I thought I had gotten some cute shots of them both but they didn't turn out so you will have to wait for those. I am pretty tired but I thought I would give you all an update on everything. Love you all!
