Here is Levi!!!
Owen is so in Love with this little guy! They are going to be the best of friends ;o)
He is so sweet! The kids are all in love. He is the perfect end to our little family! Levi was born Jan 4th at 5:03am. Here is the story. We went into the hospital around 1:30am. I was having good contractions and was at a 5, but after we got there they slowed. The doctor that was on call broke my water and put an internal monitor on Levi because I am a VBAC. (I was lucky that Dr Jones was the on call doctor because he is the only other doctor here who will deliver some one who has had a c-section.) He didn't like that my contractions weren't as strong as he would like so he gave me some pitocin (not fun!!) They checked me and I was at a 7. 
I decided to get an epidural, but before it even started to work I told Matt I think the baby is ready. I had the nurse check me and she ran and called the doctor and Levi was here a few minutes later. I was glad to have the epidural after he was born because, just like with Owen, they couldn't get my bleeding under control. I was thankful that I didn't have to feel any of what they had to do! I was very happy with his birth and felt great after! 
Then Friday morning I went shopping and i knew that something wasn't right. I thought i might pass out as i was driving home but made it. My mom freaked out a bit when I came through the door and made me lay on the couch. My temp was about 103 so I called Matt and the doctor. I was told to go to the ER right away. My temp got to 104.9. It sucked, and after being in the ER for 6 hours I was admitted. I was getting better and was on 3 IV antibiotics, then my fever came back. They wanted to keep me until Tuesday, but we begged them to let me go home and they let me out Sunday. I don't think i have ever felt so sick in all my life! Matt's Mom came from Washington to help. It was so nice to have the Grandma's here to help me. If you ever have the opportunity to have two grandmas take care of you and your kids, do it, it's great. I am so thankful for all the help and prayers we have had. For all the meals and calls from friends. I am thankful to be here with my kids and to take care of them again. What a blessing it is to have this new sweet little spirit in our home. We are in love with him and we are so thankful for all that we have!

I have to fight to get a chance to hold this little guy!
Noah is loving being able to help me out. The first thing he says when he comes home from school is " can I hold baby Levi?"
Emma is also in love with him, and told me the other day she loves him more than Hannah (our puppy) And that is a big deal for an animal lover like she is!
Libbie helps me out so much when the kids are at school, she is a great little mommy!
