Seeing Double

I still cannot wrap my mind around the fact that we have 2 beautiful kids. God is so good! I see so much of Kayleigh in Colton- it really blows my mind. Those who know Kayleigh, know she has quite a bubbly personality. :) Colton is a very happy baby but he is much more laid back. He loves to just sit back and watch. Much like Kayleigh, he loves to be outside. As a baby, Kayleigh would absolutely beam every time you made eye contact with her. Colton, on the other hand, makes you work for a smile. His smiles are so sweet though. He 'speaks' with his eyes, much like Kayleigh does. He has the most hilarious 'looks' and his eyebrows are always going. His eyes are much  lighter than Kayleigh's. I don't know if they'll stay blue, but I really doubt they'll turn brown like Kayleigh's did. He has the cutest little dimples and right now he's sporting some sweet Uncle Fester hair (you know, long in the back, bald cul-de-sac on the top) It has all the makings of a great mullet in the future. Anyway, here are some comparision shots of Kayleigh at a similar age and Colton.

Kayleigh on the left around 1 month old.

Kay and Colton in the same outfit (K on the right). She was a few weeks older than Colton here.

Look, we both make spit bubbles (Colton left)

Sweet smiling babies. :) Around 8 weeks old.

Colton Walker is here!

Well, again I am behind on blogging. We are so blessed that Colton Walker is here! I was induced at 39 weeks on August 30th. The induction went really smoothly- it was just long. They started the pitocin around 8:30 am. I felt great and was able to just wait around for most of the  morning. The nurses come to check on you periodically and up the pitocin dosage. They kept asking if I needed the epidural yet, but I felt great. Around noon my pitocin was 'up all the way' and we just had to wait for me to finish dilating. Around 3:30 I had enough and was ready for the epidural. It made my blood pressure crash and then I was able to take a nap. Around 7pm I was finally dilated to a 10, but Colton was still high up. Around 10pm he was finally low enough to push. It only took about 2 pushes and sweet baby boy was here. He was 8lbs 1.5oz and 21.25 inches long. He was healthy and just amazing. Our doctor, nurses, and everyone were just great. Kayleigh is so excited to be a big sister. She is not jealous at all and loves to help.

Already smiling. :) (or tooting, I'm sure)

Proud parents

Kayleigh meeting Colton for the first time. Makes my heart happy!
