False alarm #2- we all beat Natalie to the hospital!

Chris and Natalie- false alarm #1

Natalie had her baby...FINALLY!!! It was on Friday, August 5th at 5:25 or so in the evening. He came in weighing 8lbs 11 oz. He had a head full of black hair and was very alert. We all went to the hospital Thursday night for what I call "false alarm #2"- as we had been at the hospital 1 time before that! On Friday morning, Mom called me at 4am and said her water broke and they were heading to the hospital. I had Croppin 4 Kids that weekend, so I loaded up my stuff and headed to the hospital.

Let's just say, after seeing everything Natalie went through trying the natural child birth- I'm thinking I pretty much want an epidural at 8 months!!! God made drugs for a reason!!!! I left the hospital at 9 to go to my crop. I didn't get anything done, as my phone was ringing off the hook! Finally, I left for the hospital about 5, because after 40 hours of labor- they had decided on a C-section.

Mom and Mrs. Beverly were back there for it. Chris decided he couldn't handle the sounds-since he does faint at the sight of a paper cut. I was able to get some cute pics of the little guy- and then back to the Crop I went! It was a very eventful weekend!

I'm not as attached to Kingston as I am Lily, it's still really hard for me considering all the circumstances. I do realize this is not this sweet angel's fault. I'm sure being an Aunt to Kingston will just have to come in time. For now, I just have to figure out what kind of scrapbook he's going to need, because I figure since Lily has her own- he'll have to also!
