So here's the scoop: On Thursday afternoon after about an hour of painful contractions, which were about 7-8 minutes apart, I told Joshua we were going to the hospital to get checked. Turns out I was dialated to a 6+ and Eli was so good and obedient that he came out about an hour and a half later. All told, labor was about 5 hours start to finish and went very smoothly - much to our satisfaction! Eli was born at 5:43 pm on Thursday 12/13/07. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20 in. long. He seems to be a very alert little guy and is always hungry! He ate more his first night than German ate his first week of life. We were a little afraid of how German would react to little Eli, but it seems that German loves his little brother very much. Eli has received many kisses, high fives, and burping pats from his brother. I think they'll be good pals. Joshua is doing well and seems to be losing all of his weight rather quickly. I'm also hanging in there and trying to take my recovery slowly.

Eli is so adorable!!! Congratulations again, guys. I love you and can't wait to see you next week. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
So good to hear Josh is doing well. I was really worried the labor and delivery would just wreak havoc on his body.
What a beautiful little buddy! We're excited to see a new little baby. Last night we wrote out our memories from Payton's birth to finally start Payton's life story...man, what a wonderful experience! For all the pain, Heavenly Father sure blesses us with beautiful and wonderful little spirits.
We are so excited for you guys...and us too.
Chus!
Congratulations! Your baby is beautiful, we hope you are doing well and recovering quickly - it isn't as easy the second time...at least not for me :).
Love, Nate and Michelle Wall
