He's Here!

After nine months of waiting we were finally able to meet our little prince!  Joshua James arrived on Thursday September 29 weighing in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and measuring 21 inches long.  These were the same exact measurements as his big sis Quinn!! 

We went in to be induced on Thursday morning at 9:30 filled with so much excitement and anticipation of what the day ahead had in store for us.  By 6:30 we were totally enamored and in love with our newest member of the family!  Quinn was so excited to meet Joshua and has been really enthusiastic to help out with his diapers, baths, dressing etc...  Sometimes she is a little too enthusiastic and we will have to remind her to give him a little space.  So far she is just a proud big sis and wakes up every morning asking "Is baby Joshua awake yet?". 

Our first nights with him have been a huge reminder of what life can be like with a newborn.  He slept extremely well in the hospital- so well we had a hard time waking him up for his feedings.  But as soon as we came home he decided that night time was going to be party time--seriously-- awake every hour!!  Last night we had some progress and he slept really well.  I had to wake him up for his feedings so I'm crossing my fingers that we can continue this trend.

Things are going as well as can be.  Our hearts are overflowing with love and we're feeling super blessed to have been entrusted with such special little people.  Here are some pictures of the last couple days:
