It has been awhile since I have updated our blog. Since my last entry our little Austin Jay Christiansen was born on December 3, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. He was 6lbs 8 oz and 19in long. He was due on November 29th but he was not in a hurry to come out into the cold. :) When a week past we decided to help move things along. On Friday we went in at 6 a.m. to get induced. We had some issues getting started but on the third try it seemed like smooth sailing and went pretty quickly. They started the pitocin at 11:30 and he was born at 3p.m. So total labor was 3 1/2 hours!
Grammie was at home with Ty. He was so excited to see baby Austin. After Grammie picked him up from school they ran some errands to kill some time. At 3:00 p.m. Ty said to my mom, it is time to go see baby Austin, and so she said as soon as she gets a call from Mommy & Daddy then we will go. Soon after that she got the call letting her know that Austin was born at 3:00 p.m. on the dot. Then when Ty came and saw Austin and I for the first time he came up to me and asked how did Baby Austin come out? And so awkwardly I asked what do you mean? And then Ty said, he came out like this with his arm next to his head and showed me how it looked. I was in shock! That is exactly how he came out. I asked Dane if he had talked about that with anyone while Ty was around and he said he didn't say anything about it to anyone. It is an amazing feeling to know that the veil is so thin for our young ones. What a wonderful experience that was.
We are all so excited to have Austin here with us. He has already brought so much to our home in just the short amount of time that he has been here. We are so excited to get to know him and see Ty and Austin grow up together. Dane and I have been blessed with two beautiful boys and and we couldn't be happier! Every day we give thanks for being able to be their parents.
