Baby Josh is here! He was born on Monday, the 19th via C-section. Everything went smoothly. Nursing is a challenge but I am enjoying it much to my surprise (I was really afraid of it before, that's why I never did it before). He is my smallest baby! He only weighed 6lbs 7 oz and only 18.5 inches long!!! He's a lil' peanut! he is a very sweet baby. I am very thankful for my 4 boys!

This is my 4th pregnancy. I am trying to enjoy this time around since this is our last baby. I have 3 sons (4, 3 and 1 years old). And we are having another boy. I thought I would be very disappointed if (when) we found out we were not going to have a girl, but surprisingly I wasn't upset about it at all. I absolutely Love my boys and it really is all I "know". My husband and I have been married for 4.5 years and have really adjusted to this crazy household of boys :) He is very involved in thier lives, he's wonderful. I am a stay at home mom and housewife. My c-section is scheduled for November 19th.
