PRESENTING.... Evan Michael

Hello Everyone, I am slowly getting back to the land of the living. As I write this I am looking at our newest addition and admiring how amazing our God is to create something so perfect. Our little sweetie was born on April 9, 2010 at 4:47 PM. He weighed in at 7lbs 14oz and was 20 1/2" long.

God has truly blessed me with wonderful pregnancies and births. I went into my doctor's appointment at 10:15 for an ultrasound (because I was 6 days overdue) where they discovered I only had one pocket of fluid left, which called for an immediate induction. When my doc checked me I was dilated to a "good" 3 and 70% effaced. So, I knew the induction was going to go well. There were some concerns about the fluid, but they proved not to be a problem in labor. My doctor broke my water at 2:45pm and just 2 hours and 2min's later we welcomed Evan. Labor was VERY quick and drug free, which I praise God for.

Evan is now just under 2 weeks old, which is crazy. He is a very content little man and has been a sleeper from the get go. He is already sleeping 6 hours straight at night and takes a couple great naps during the day. It is sooo nice especially since Drew cried for 4 months straight, or so it seemed.

So, all I can say is God is good....ALL THE TIME!

Grandma & Grandpa Hagerhjelm came to welcome Evan

The best doctor: Dr Biest

Leslie came up from Carbondale to share in Evan's Birthday

My Sherree... she came to welcome Evan into the world. She is like a Mom to me!

Jamie...such a blessing to us! She took care of Drew for us!

STILL WAITING....

Well, little Evan is proving to be as stubborn as his brother was. We are now a few days past my due date and no little boy has arrived. My next appointment is on Friday, but join us in praying that he comes on his own before then!

So, in the mean time here are some fun pics of Drew from our church's Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday.

Cute Little Girl who had the same Easter Basket as Drew...

We had a little freak out about the dirt...

Sweet Maci... You will see they switched baskets. Drew filled his in no time, so he then took on Maci's and filled hers to... he was not messing around!!
I couldn't resist the box of eggs...

Isn't Maci a beauty??

I was so excited to get a surprise visit from one of my best friends Courtney & her youngest Maci. I was in shock when she walked through my door last week. Thanks James for helping with the surprise it totally made my weekend. I just wish Evan would have decided to make an appearance during her visit!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

This is one of the most special days of the year as we reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us and celebrate him raising from the dead! This is also my official due date and as of right now... NO EVAN. I still have high hopes he will be here before Courtney leaves (who by the way flew in to surprise me). I am not big on remedies to put you into labor, but even I drank two STRONG glasses of Raspberry tea last night, NO LUCK! Although I know God can do anything!

In the meantime as we wait for this little guy, enjoy some cute pics of Drew's Easter morning fun!!
