...and we're Home!...

Just a little FYI. I started this entry on Saturday evening, but the kids did come home before I could complete it and then the computer was monopolized and yada, yada...Anyway.

Well, we did it. We got checked in, we got induced, we labored, we took on the epidural (which some of us handled better than others; ask me about it sometime, or better yet, ask Barrett about it sometime...)we pushed-once, and we birthed...a handsome little fellow whom we will lovingly refer to as Dax Michael Bishop. Introducing... Dax: arrived: 1314, 7 lbs, 9oz, 20 in. long








I love the last two pictures of Anson holding Dax. He's come a long ways. When Eden was born he didn't even want to be in the same room with her. He held Dax for a good couple minutes and even gave him a smooch-so sweet!
Now, for all of you out there wondering, we think he's about the spitting image of Bo (lucky boy), and yes, he has all his fingers and everything else, no big surprises so far. As of his being two days old, he has dark hair, darker skin and of course his eyes look dark, just like our other 3 kiddos. Sorry Barrett. Luckily they all seem to get some of his other fantastic qualities. I realize Dax can still change...maybe his eyes will turn blue? Anyway, we think he's perfect, just like all our others and are so extremely happy that he's here!
Our time in the hospital was great-two full days for me and Dax. We had wonderful nurses, and several friends and family who visited or phoned, but best of all, the two of us had ourselves some quality one on one time. I realize most people don't like to stay at the hospital longer than absolutely necessary, but I always enjoy the time alone with the new babe and the room service! I even sat and enjoyed almost the whole morning session of Conference today, it really was great. Now we're home and the kids will be home soon...this could be a very exciting evening. Luckily Barrett will be home from the priesthood session soon as well. I want to very publicly thank Gma & Gpa Wood for all their time and energy and days off from work that they sacrificed to help out this week(end)! I know that Anson, Eden and Bo have enjoyed their time with you, I know you spoil them like good grandparents do, and I love you so much for it! They (we) are blessed!
