And then there were four

I have composed this post in my head numerous times but usually its in the middle of the night and wouldn't make sense if I actually typed it then. During the day my attention is being demanded by at least one kidlet so that isn't an option either. BUT both boys are sleeping right now so I thought I better jump on and bust out a post :).  

Milo Zacchaeus joined our family on March 27th at 8:55pm. I was in labor for 5 hours and definitely got an epidural. By the time I started pushing the epidural had worn off on the top of my belly but from belly button down was still numb luckily. With Coop I was uber numb so feeling the contractions during pushing was a new experience. I actually liked being able to tell when to push without it being super painful. It took a day and a half for the numbness to fade from my left upper thigh so that was weird. ANYWAYS back to Milo. He was 6 lbs 11 ozs and 18 1/2 in.long. He was born tongue-tied which made nursing SUCK but the pediatrician got us into an ent (ear nose throat) dr the day we were discharged to clip it and all is well now.  

Cooper has been handling Milo much better than we expected. He just loves him a little too hard but we're working on it. 

I want to eat in peace for once so I'll post more later :)

Here are photos

YAY! Beautiful babe. I'm surprised he doesn't look more like Cooper. He has his very own look. And the cutest little baby nose!!!
