First Trip to the Ranch

This weekend marked Finn's first trip to the ranch at 10 days old. Aunt Sar and Uncle Wade made it too so we were 100%! 

Family Visits

It is so nice to be in STL now close to our family who can pop in for visits anytime. My parents brought Cole up to meet his little brother a couple of hours after he was born. Drew went and got him from the lobby so we could have a minute alone as a new family of four. Grannie Annie and Grandpa then came in shortly after. Gigi came to the hospital after school but unfortunately Pop had a bad cold and decided it would be better to wait to meet him. Uncle Wade had to work but Aunt Sarah came in Thurs morning and stayed through Saturday morning. Aunt Ashley and Uncle Pete them came to meet him Sat morning at home along with Pop that afternoon. I didn't get a pic before they had to head back to Springfield as Ash was showing signs of labor. Baby Emry then came a few weeks early on Monday morning, 9/16. Two Harris babies only five days apart. Such an exciting time! 

Finn Brophy Harris

On Wednesday, September 11th, 2013, at 9:29am, we welcomed Finn Brophy Harris. He weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 20.5 inches long. A healthy baby boy! We arrived at the hospital to be induced on Tuesday night but the fun really started when they broke my water around 7am. I quickly went into active labor and by 8:20am I was 5cm and ready for an epidural. In the time it took for the doctor to make his morning rounds with me and explain the process for the day and leave the room, I went from 5cm to 10 and was ready to push. It went super fast and was overall a great experience. We were overjoyed to meet our newest family member. Cole quickly took to his little brother and has been absolutely adorable with him since the first time he asked to hold him at the hospital. We are so thankful and blessed.
