Blaze Christian Ardis

Blaze Christian Ardis was born Tuesday, December 20th @ 5:14 am.  I was so happy he was finally here!  We had an amazing delivery, couldn't have asked for a more perfect natural birth.  And he wasn't a small baby to have either.  Blaze weighed in at 8 lbs. 9 oz., 22 inches long, with a 14 inch head.

My sweet little man right after he is born and cleaned up!  My sweet midwife gave me a tiara to wear after he was born.

What a little cutie!

My perfect Christmas gift!

Little sweetie in a stocking! 

Daddy and Blaze exhausted after a long night!  Blaze tired from delivery and Bryan tired from being up all night.  I was getting dressed so we could go home and I looked over and daddy and baby were both passed out.  Priceless!

Getting ready to go home!

Meeting Blaze for the first time!  The kids were super excited to meet him and were very blessed they got to meet him when he was only 3 hours old.

Before Blaze was born Brayden asked if he could be the first to hold him.  He couldn't wait to hold his new baby brother!

I am truly blessed to have such an amazing little family!  I love my 5 kids and feel so blessed to have Blaze join our family!  He is truly a blessing in my life!
I will post more pictures later.  You can also go to this link to see more pictures of Blaze that my doula made.  Go here: http://thadenpierce.org/doula/sg/?g=Baby%20B

DONE!

I am so DONE!  I am so ready to have this baby!  Do you get to that point in your pregnancies?  And if so, when? 
Last Monday I was put on bed rest because I was having contractions every 5 minutes and since I am having a little boy (they develop slower, or so they say) they wanted me to wait atleast 10 more days to have him.  Well, I did it.  I kept him in and was released from bed rest today.  I pray he comes soon!  I wasn't done until about Thursday, when my little guy started pounding me in the ribs.  He has pushed on my ribs, on the right side, so much that my liver and gall bladder are now bruised and hurt really bad.  Just what I need going into labor, to already be in severe pain!  Life is so fun sometimes! I guess we need to have a tough time at the end of our pregnancy to makes us ready and even excited about the pain of child birth.  
So, I am now at the point of begging and pleading him to come because after 10 days of bed rest and 7 days of it in intense pain in my liver and gall bladder, I am soooooo DONE!
