After 15 hours of labor, my new nephew, Hunter, has finally arrived. My sister-in-law told us back in February that she was expecting this bundle of joy and now he's here. The time went by fast. She was at the hospital at 5:30 am this morning and began inducing her right away. At 3:00pm she was only 4 cm. By the time we got to the hospital she was beginning to push, but it was 2 hours later before we actually saw him. Katelyn was due October 10th, however, in both of Hunter's kidneys, he was retaining fluid. The spots got bigger and they told her this past Monday that he would be coming today. So, he arrived 11 days earlier. And once he got here, he was going to the bathroom very well, thankfully. Both Hunter and mom are doing great. I know Katelyn is very tired. They had about 20 something people in the waiting room, waiting to see this little guy. I have to say that Hunter looks like Katelyn, so much like Katelyn. He's so cute! We are very excited for Katelyn and Ryan. I know they have many changes ahead, but some wonderful times as well. Katelyn and Hunter will get to come home sometime late, Friday afternoon.

Ryan got to bring him to the nursery and ring the bell when he brought him in.

He was not very happy with them taking his weight and measuring.

The proud parents!
