Our Greatest Blessing......

He has finally arrived. Drew Hansen Terry was finally born on January 28, 2012. He was 6lbs 7oz and 21 1/2in. Definitely the runt of our litter. He was almost 2lbs less than the rest of my boys, but he is perfect none the less. He was due on the 27Th and three weeks before his due date I started to dilate and he dropped. I was hoping to make it till the 21st because Jeremy's brother was getting married and I didn't want to have to try and figure out a new born at the wedding. So after the 21st came and went I was ready to go into labor. You can only imagine how long the next week was when I was still pregnant on my due date! Anyway, I starting having contraction around 3am Saturday morning, but when I got up they stopped. I was so disappointed, Jer and I even went hiking up the mountain to see if we could get them to start back up again, but nothing! We went through the rest of the day with hardly a contraction, then at 6 Saturday night he was finally ready to come. My contractions started and were about 5 minutes apart and just continued from there. We got the boys to my parents and then headed to the hospital around 8. We got checked in and he came at 11:27, 2 pushes and he was here. I was totally shocked when the told me his weight, I've never had a baby that small, but then when Dr. Ward delivered the placenta, he found a "True Knot" in the cord. They say it doesn't happen to everyone, but most of the time when there is a knot in the cord it can result in a still birth. We are so grateful he is here and that he is healthy. The boys love him so much and he hardly even gets to lay down because he is constantly being held. He does have some red in his hair, but Jer says that he will still love him all the same! We can't imagine life without him!

I finally took a belly shot before we had the baby. He is the first one that I have remembered to take before getting to the hospital and getting in the gown!!
