Adam Michael's Baptism

4th of July

We spent the fourth weekend on the farm in Wisconsin. Brayden had a lot of fun running around with the alpacas and the guard dogs. I took him out for a ride on the 4-wheeler, but he wasn't much into it this time. It was Adam's first trip away from home and he traveled really well.
On the 4th, Grandma Debbie grilled a huge dinner for everyone. My sister Shonda and her husband Kevin were there. My Grandparents Peggy and Sam were there as well as my Aunt Chris. After dinner, we started a big bonfire and tried to set off fireworks, but Brayden had some problems with the noise. He did get to stay up late though since his cousins he hadn't met yet showed up sporadically through the night. It was pretty cool to see everyone.

4th On The Farm

Settled in at home

Adam's first week at home has gone really well. He's sleeping about halfway through the night and wakes up for feedings and dirty diapers. Brayden is enjoying having a little brother very much. Every time I take him out, he wants to go home sooner than usual because he says he misses his brother.

First Week at Home

Adam Michael

Adam was born on Thursday the 12th at 10:34 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and came in at 19 inches long. We went in for the induction at 8:00 and they broke Susie's water at 8:30. She labored for 2 hours and pushed a total of 4 times. She said it was fast and intense and she decided not to use any anesthetics (pretty brave). We were able to leave the hospital today (the 14th) after the docs gave Susie and Adam a clean bill of health. Brayden was was at home with Grandma and Grandpa waiting patiently for his new little brother to get home. We've been here a few hours and everything is going really well.
