Izaiah has arrived!

For those of you who don't know I am one of those crazy people who like to have their babies at home :) Hence this picture of me in my bedroom... dilated to a 7, I was so excited! What I didn't know at the time was that I would be stuck at a 7 for the next 5 hours...
ALL WORTH IT! On Sunday, September 27th at 5:52pm our baby boy came. He measured 21 in and 7lb 9oz. We were so excited to finally hold baby Izaiah. I really thought it was a girl so it was a fun surprise. I have guessed wrong with all of my children, so I think I'll stop guessing now :) Zui really wanted a boy so he was extra happy.
Happy family

Anjuli and Zion spent the day with Zui's brother, Darrell. When they came home they met their new baby brother! Anjuli was thrilled. Zion...hmm...is still adjusting.

Our wonderful midwife, Betty. She has delivered all of our children. She's actually staying with us for a whole week to take care of us--what an angel! She has been cooking, cleaning, and playing with the kids while making sure I don't get out of bed--doc's orders.
More pics to come...

Congrats and Izaiah is beautiful! Jenn you look amazing! We were wondering if your midwife was going to be able to make it, that is so great!

Awww!! I love how Anjuli was patting the baby and then one of the kids asked if the baby was a girl! ha ha. That was so cute. I'm so proud of you, Jenn!! And it's so nice Sister. Ludlow can stay and deliver your baby and be your helper!! And of course, the luxury of being in Hawaii!! ha ha. Wonderful!! You've got a BEAUTIFUL family, Jenn!! Congratulations!!!
