And then there were three....

This is a picture of the morning he was born.

Squishy, puffy cheeks!

He still sucks on those two fingers!

My beautiful baby boy.

Here he is!! Brian William Erickson. I decided on a middle name that was a little more traditional than DANGER! We still call him baby danger, so at least he'll have that nickname for the rest of his life!

He was born on Thursday October 29, 2009 at 12:09 p.m.! The morning started out way too early. We had just gotten that really bad snowstorm the night before too. We were up at 4 and we left the house a 5. We drove one mile an hour on trecherous roads to St. Joe's and got there at 6. They got me in to a room finally, about 7. This labor was a very different from the last two. I had to be induced this time. I didn't really like it honestly! It was way more intense than regular labor. They started me on patosin, probably didn't spell that right, at 8. It started being annoying right away, but I was ok in between contractions. It got pretty painful and I got some drugs through my IV to take off the edge, but I did it without an epidural again! He was born 4 hours later! He was 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 18 inches. My biggest baby so far! The nurses said he was perfect with his pink skin and full cheeks. He came out screaming, so he passed that test right away. He peed and pooped on the little baby table as soon as they put him down, so he passed that test pretty quick too! It was hard this time because my kids were not allowed in the hospital but we set up Brian and Angie's laptop and Skyped the kids minutes after he arrived and the kids got to see him. They were SO excited! It was a wonderful day and Todd and I were so happy to have another healthy baby boy.
