Little Austin has arrived. Nathan is a big brother. He came on October 2nd (right in between General Conference sessions). I started labor early that morning but it was super sporadic. At one point I had the kids take a walk with me up and down our road to see if we could get something regular happening. As we were singing the intermediate hymn during the morning session of Conference I started to feel some hard contractions and then they just kept coming. We took the kids over to the Pearce's house and then headed to the hospital. I checked in at 12:33 PM and Austin was born at 1:00 PM. Sean went and got the kids to come and visit later that evening. They were all in love at first sight. And Megan and Nathan were also quite excited about my dinner in the hospital - they wanted to eat it all. Since we have been home there is NO shortage of people to love on him and hold him and help him. The kids take turns holding him all the time. Nathan is always right there with the other kids asking to hold him. He usually doesn't want to hold still for too long, but he loves to let Austin lay on his lap for a few minutes. And he is just enthralled with him. I love his sweet expression in his picture holding Austin at the hospital. That is a pretty accurate depiction of how he feels about his baby brother.
