KIAN SCOTT GILLESPIE
Born: April 3, 2010 (Happy 41st Anniversary Mom and Dad)
Time: 4:46 AM
Weight: 7lbs 7oz (our smallest yet)
Length: 19 1/2 inches
Things started out very slowly at first (I had hours and hours of contractions (15+) without going into active labor for a week leading up to the big night). Once active labor started (at 5 cm) things went fast and our little dude slipped (I use this word very lightly) quietly into the world. He was posterior in position which means he came came out looking up at my doctor, nurse and Rob. (Rob says it's a pretty bizarre sight watching little eyes peer out at you before the babies even out).
I will post more details on our baby blog later. For now, enjoy a few pics.

Ready for the short ride home
(Cael came with Daddy to get us from the hospital)
I'm going to try and add a video of Gabe holding him at home (he didn't want to hold him at the hospital). It could take a while. Check back soon!
