one week old

I joke that Beckett is like a one month old. Forget the sleepy newborn pictures, this little dude just wanted to be awake. Brielle is completely OBSESSED with her brother and I can't wait to see their relationship grow as he gets older.

We welcomed Beckett Michael on June 2, 2014 at 5:27 PM. He surprised us all with his size, weighing in at 8 lbs 14 oz and 22 inches long. My mom & sister were in the room with us again and Katie was able to snap some pictures for us. I was lucky to have another easy labor & delivery. Before I started pushing, the doctor made a strange statement to Ryan, telling him that if the cord was wrapped around the babys neck, then she will have to cut it herself. Sure enough, it was wrapped around his neck (I am still confused how she knew that was going to happen) but she was able to quickly unwrap it and Ryan cut it. They said the cord being wrapped around the neck is fairly normal and that it happens about 30% of the time, but I don't care... it's still scary when it's happening to you. Beckett was perfect & healthy and chunky as can be.
