The New Addition

 Well our sweet little boy came 13 days early and it was a good thing because he was not so little, he was 8 lbs 13 oz and was 20 in long. It was a really good delivery I only had to push twice and my recovery was very quick. I went into labor at about 6pm on the 25th of June (while cleaning the office that Alan works for) and we went to the hospital about 2 hours later. I was admitted pretty quick because I was already dilated to a four and my contractions were getting a lot worse. I got my epidural and felt wonderful I had not felt that relaxed in months. My contractions began to slow down so they had to give me some medicine to help me along. My doctor came and broke my water, but a few hours later they had to put water back in me because it was getting too tight for the baby. I was 100% efaced and dilated to a 9 and my doctor let me rest and relax a little long, which was wonderful then he came and in two pushes our baby was here born at 7:42 AM on June 26th.

We decided about a month ago that Alan got the make the final decision on his name and he said he will pick between William or Blake when he holds him, he chose William. His full name is William Draper Sheffer

 Lizzy was instantly in love with her baby brother, all she does is hug and kiss him constantly. She has to introduce him to everyone too.

 We stayed in the hospital for a little less than 48 hours, I was very ready to head home.

 She loves him so much, every morning after she wakes up she has to come in and check on William and give her daily hugs and kisses.
