THE BLAKELY BUNCH

Colton Donald Blakely

He is finally here! Colton arrived on Monday, April 5 at 5:51 p.m. weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and 20.75 inches. The whole labor and delivery process was fairly easy again. My doctor set me up to be induced due to my extremely fast labor with Reed...she wanted to make sure she was there this time!
I started off trying the same procedure I did with Reed, cervical ripening, but nothing happened this time. So, I had to wait 6 hours for the pitocin. Once I got that, things kicked into full on labor and Colton was here 2 hours and 2 pushes later. I love him more than I ever thought I could. I worried my whole pregnancy about being able to love him as much as I love Reed but it really is possible.
Reed is doing fairly well with the new transition. The first couple of days were a little rough. He didn't like seeing me in the hospital bed and the first day we got home he wouldn't pay any attention me. He has definitely come around and is back to his same ole happy self.
