Our Peter was born February 27th at 10:07 am.
He came weighing 6lbs 13oz and was 18" long.
Our smallest baby :)
Tony and I checked into the hospital at 7am for my induction. My delivery nurse was fantastic and took great care of us. I was hooked up and had my epidural and water broken by 8:30am. I was dilated to a 6 by 9:30 and around 9:50 I started to feel stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. I was checked and we all gasped when the nurse said I was at a 10 and Peter was coming right away! She called my obgyn (who I absolutely loved) and he came running from his office across the street. Literally, he was panting when he arrived. He sat down, I pushed 3 times and Peter was here.
After his bath...is he all boy or what?!
The nurse wrapped him in a blanket and immediately laid him on my chest. We were able to spend a quiet hour with him and it was such a special time for Tony and I. My heart felt it was going to burst.
Later that afternoon my mom brought Charlie and Joey to meet their new baby brother! I could not wait for the boys to see that yes, there really was a baby brother in my tummy! They were both interested in him and Charlie kept saying, "mom, he's teeny tiny!" whenever he looked at his feet or hands.
That night some of my siblings and parents came to see the newest member of the family. Besides my mom, this is the first time we've had family be able to visit with us in the hospital. It was wonderful :)

Tony took the boys to get a special birthday treat for their new little brother. We sang "Happy Birthday" and Charlie blew out the smartphone candles. Gotta love technology!
Peter's birthday was a little piece of heaven. This is truly what life is all about.
