Our New Little Guy

On Tuesday July 13th at 8:54am we welcomed Carson Mark Black into our family.
He weighed 6 pounds 13 and was 19 inches long.
We arrived at the hospital at 5:00am for a scheduled c-section. I was hooked up to monitors and was having regular contractions about every 6 minutes. We expected to go into surgery at 7:30, but because of an emergency c-section we were moved back until about 8:30am. I was so nervous but the nursing staff, operating room staff, anesthesiologist, and doctor were fabulous!
This time around the surgery was very painful but Mark was very supportive and it was over quickly. I was taken to recovery for about an hour and a half and then I got to go hold our handsome little boy.
I fell in love with him instantly!
He has a very quiet, sweet cry.

My parents came into town to take care of Gavin and Megan. It has been so helpful knowing that my children are being well taken care of!

We are so happy to finally be a family of 5!

This is what I looked like the day before he was born. I am so glad he's on the outside now!


Gavin and Megan love him so much and they are great helpers too!

We love our new addition!
