Welcome Home Mitchell!

On Tuesday, January, 13th our little Mitchell Lawrence Marks was born at 2:56 p.m.  He weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.  Everything went very smooth, especially after the second epidural started working!

We are home now and are enjoying being spoiled by Grandma Romney.  She leaves Monday and that is when the real test begins!

We have also enjoyed all the kids being home from school since Thursday because of the extreme cold!  I guess we will all snuggle up and remain inside with our sweet little baby for the duration of the winter. ;-)

THE BIG DAY!!

Well, the big day for baby to arrive has been scheduled. (You have got to love modern medicine). I will be induced on Tuesday, Jan. 13th.

I love my doctors! I told them my Mom had a flight scheduled for Jan. 12th and she would only be here for a week, so they were kind enough to induce me 4 days early, so we could have Grandma here to tend kids and take care of me! This was such a relief to me because when I was pregnant with Jason, Grandma came and then had to leave before the baby was born! Now let's all say a prayer that it stops snowing long enough for her plane to land!
