Our Newest Addition!!!

Introducing Colt Harvey!!

He made his grand entrance into this world Friday morning at 3:34 a.m.

He weighed a whopping 7lbs. 5oz. and was 20 inches long. My water broke at 10:30, we made the hour drive to the hospital and an hour after that I started having contractions one after another with no brake. I got the epidural and spinal block. and not to long after he was on his way out. We still didn't have a name for him yet. After looking at him for a while we vetoed our first and second choices for names and went with plan c. Red suggested Colt and I seconded it right away. It fit better than our other choices. He gave us a scare his first night with sme respiratory distress. They x-rayed his chest and did several tests. Everything worked out just fine. He is healthy and well. And our little family is smitten and head over heels in love!

Rowdy is a cute big brother, He loves to sit with Colt. He cries when Clt is sad and
he gives him loves and hugs every chance he can. He'll even share his toys. Its crazy fun to watch.

Tally has taken to him really well, she keeps really good track of him, the two times she's lost him it's broken her heart. We are always finding her snuggled up to him.

I just have to say we are so blessed and very lucky. I feel like a very lucky woman. I get less sleep and I am living in constant chaos, my life went from simple to crazy, and it really is crazy with a fourteen month old and a newborn, but this is what God has given me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It may be a while befre I can get it together enough to be a regular blogger again but I will do my best to try. Be back soon

Hooray pictures! He looks like his daddy. Fair enough since Rowdy was totally Stacy's baby, right? I wish I was closer so I could come meet him! He's so cute. Congrats!! Love you all!
