Wow, it is hard to believe that a week ago we were welcoming our first baby, Kaden Luke, into the world. We checked into the hospital on Saturday, May 23 to prepare for induction the next morning. At about 4:00am Sunday morning, I was started on Pitocin and labor began. 21 hours and 2 epidurals later, baby Kaden was born. He arrived at 12:57am on Monday, May 25, 2009 and was 7lbs 10oz and 21 1/2'' long. The labor and delivery process was surprisingly smooth and there were no major complications. Both Kaden and I stayed in the hospital until Wednesday, and we had a lot of friends stopping by to meet our son. We have now been home for 5 days and it has already flown by.
We will certainly enjoy every stage of his life, but these first days have been the most precious time I could ever imagine. He is a very alert baby and has been sleeping very well. He has made our transition home a very easy one. Our favorite thing is his smile. I know it's probably not a deliberate smile, perhaps just a reflex of sorts, but it is the cutest thing. Everyone who has visited us says he looks a lot like Brandon. He definitely has Brandon's mouth and nose. I hope he takes after his daddy in many ways.
