Tanner

Tanner James arrived at 1:00 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.  I was induced 2 weeks early to hopefully avoid another overly large baby with shoulder dysotia complications.  I was surprised by how small he was but it was really nice and he was just perfect!  When he came out they gave him to me for a few minutes but I was dying to know how big he was.  When they took him to the scale he started SCREAMING.  The whole floor had to have heard him.  He was throwing quite a fit.  The nurses said they hadn't seen a baby scream like that in a long time.  It was super cute but I was kinda worried. :)

 When he was born we both took one look at him and said, "he looks just like Matson".  He really was teh spitting image of him when he came out.  Turns out he even has a stork bite in the same spot as Matson did.

 He calmed right down when he was with me and has been the most mellow baby.  He sleeps, looks around, and eats, and barely makes a peep.  I fell in love the minute I saw him.  He's so sweet.
