He's Here!!

On May 29, 2012 at 12:13 p.m. we welcomed our newest addition to our family!! Delivery went much smoother than with the first. Although I think the epidural wore off because I pretty much felt everything, it was all worth it!:) The Lord blessed us with our sweet, healthy, blue-eyed little boy!

Graham Layne Poynor 8 lbs. 5 oz. 20 3/4 inches long

When Owen got to the hospital to meet his new brother I'm not sure he knew what to think. He was a little leery to get up into the bed with me but wanted to hold his little brother. Owen continued to say, "I'm the big brother! I love you Graham! I'm a good big brother!" And he has proven to be:)

We were very excited to get Graham home. We were able to go home from the hospital on Thursday morning. Of course, just like we did with Owen, I had to have my new little man come home in his Red Raider gear!!

We are truly blessed with the life the Lord has given us!! Maybe it's because I named him after me (my middle name is Alayne so we dropped the "A" and gave him Layne), but Graham is already proven to be a mommy's boy and I'm ok with that:)

39 Weeks...and Tomorrow's the day!!

At 35 weeks I was admitted into the hospital with contractions and given meds to try and stop them from coming. I was put on bed rest for 2 days (then I would be 36 weeks) and was told if he comes after that they will do nothing to stop the labor. At 36 weeks, I went and saw the doc and she told me that with me progressing the way I was that I should have him within the week. So we waited and waited...

Made it to 37 weeks! Went into the doctor and there was no change. She said that I should just take it easy and he will come when he was ready. So we made a plan for induction and then waited. 38th week passed and now we made it to 39 weeks!! I was so nervous he would come early and his lungs wouldn't be developed or wouldn't be strong enough and we would be back in the NICU just like Owen was. But all I continued to do was pray! I am so thankful for the Lord and for having Him on my side!

Now we are at the night before the big day!! Even after going through this once (with no epidural and a very quick and scary delivery) I have to admit that I am nervous!! I'm nervous not only about the labor but how Owen is going handle the change. I know that it will all work out!! I pray for strength:)!!!

39 weeks and 2 days

Here are my 2 sweet loves!! Fixing to make it 3:)

Blessed Beyond Belief!
