Welcome to the world Little Man!






Our little guy is finally here! The quick version: Davis Justin Wilkinson was born on October 4th at 6:40 a.m. at OHSU Hospital in Portland, Oregon. He was (get ready for this) 9 lb. 11 oz. and 21.5 inches long. Everything went very smoothly. We are so excited that he is here and is healthy. I am feeling great (considering having given birth to an almost 10 pounder). His sisters are loving him and can't think about anything else but holding their little brother.


Longer version: Justin and I went to the hospital Friday night about 11:00. Luckily my mom had just flown in that morning so she was able to stay with the girls. I was having contractions about 5 minutes apart and we didn't waste any time considering my history with fast-coming babies. We got checked in and since I was already dilated to a 5 (for 2 weeks before-hand), it went pretty fast. Luckily not as fast as with Emma and I had some time for the epidural to actually kick in. None of us could believe it when he finally made his appearance. He is huge! I knew that this baby felt a little bigger than Abby and Emma did but had no idea that he was that much bigger. But he is healthy and wonderful and we love having him in our home. Here are some pictures of the little (big) guy!

YAY guys!! We are SO SO excited for you...bring on the cars and trucks. He is just a s cute as he can be, and you guys make great props. Gorgeous family!

Oh Lanes! He looks so much like Daddy Baby, only twice as big. Our last one was 9 lb. 13 oz., so I know the riggers of getting that out. Only, much like Davis to Abby, I'm like two of you, so I can only imagine how hard you worked. Good for you little mama. I can imagine how much those sisters are loving that brother and we are so excited for all of you to have this new person and new experience in your lives. Does anything else make us more in love with our families than welcoming and nurturing new life? Can't wait to watch him grow!

Peerys Posse said...

Congrats on the brother. He is darling way to go on the 10 pounder. You are the woman. Did they think you were crazy for asking for an epidural. I asked for one and they asked me it I wanted the birthing ball. Are you crazy!!! I said if it is hooked up to the epidural. what a great addition to your fam. the mauling begins.
Love Tracy

Oh I just love him soooo much. He looks exactly like your girls. Give all your kiddies a big love from me. (Good luck with 3 kids)

the child family said...

Oh my goodnes, Lanie, he's here already! Ok, that went fast for at least one of us. Anyway, CONGRATS! And cute name! And how fun to have a boy! I looked at the pictures before I read the narrative and was thinking that for sure your mom had to have been there for it because your girls look so adorable. Sorry, no offense, Justin, it's just that dad's usually don't have quite the knack. This is getting really long but I am so excited for your family and so impressed that you gave birth to such a big one!

Jennifer said...

Congrats! What a beautiful baby! I'm sure he's getting lots of love and cuddles from everyone! I'm so happy you have such a cute little guy in the family now!

Lanie! Congratulations! He's beautiful, and you have no business being that beautiful right after giving birth, by the way! :) Enjoy the 3 child adventure.

Phoebe said...

There is nothing better than a little (big) newborn. Hope you are settling in!

Sarahmanarah said...

Congrats! Boys are so sweet. There's just something very tender between a Mother and a Son. Enjoy it thoroughly. I can't believe he was so big. It's a good thing that epidural kicked in.
