He's here!!!!!!!!!!!
Notice: This is really long since this is kind of like a family journal :)
Our little guy (yep, no name yet, so that is what he is going by) is here- 8:15 am, 7 lbs 12 oz, 20 3/4 inches long.
He started his arrival at approximately 2 am this morning with amazingly painful back labor. I pulled myself out of bed at 3 since I was so uncomfortable and didn't want to wake up Billy with my huffing and puffing breathing. My contractions
were at 10 minutes so I watched some 30 Rock and My name is Earl and the local news- someone's house caught on fire in Boise- until I realized they repeat the exact same news over and over. Soon I was at 7 minutes apart with really bad pain. I told myself that when they got to 6 I would wake up Billy. Then they jumped to 4 minutes apart. I was about to go get Billy (a bit before 6) when I hear this beeping. Apparently the Lord knew that I didn't want to try to walk down the hall so he set off the low battery alarm in our bedroom smoke detector. I told Billy we needed to head out, so he fixed the detector, took a shower and 
we headed off for the hospital. My sister Angie was a lifesaver and came and stayed with the kids. I only got after him once when he stopped at a yellow light- I mean isn't being in labor a good excuse for running a yellow light?
Well, I'll finish the rest of this later- I'm going to bed :)

He is a doll. I hope you don't mind I posted him on my blog. He looks like Brayden a bit through the eyes, but it's hard to tell when they are so little (and with the hat and all!) You look AWESOME - so together and glowing still! We're glad he's here safe and sound and that you had a relatively short labor. Ditto to Charise's comments - I'll be around if/when you need me. Ethan was asking for Brayden to come play today, so maybe they can play next week. By the way, you hit my grandmother's birthday - ha ha ha - after all that joking about so many people's birthdays being around here.
