With his friend, Ava, who was born a little less than two weeks before he was....
April 26th our lives changed forever! And we love it!! :)
Malachi was born at 4:53 pm in Arlington, WA at the same hospital that I (Lacey) was born... And he was born two days before my birthday! He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long.
Monday, the 25th we had gone down to Seattle to meet our new nephew as Jeremy's sister had just had her baby, Carter, two days before that! (yeah for cousins!) That night at about midnight I had my first contraction and was wondering if that's what they really were....an hour later I woke up Jeremy, because I was pretty sure then. We started timing them and they were picking up, but not super close together. Neither one of us slept the rest of the night and woke up my parent's at 4:30. At 6 we arrived at the hospital. Then my contractions seems to slow a bit, but we were just thankful to be at the hospital at that point. The rest of the day was spent waiting it out, making it through contractions and that's about it. :) Baby was born that afternoon (almost evening) :)
Even though we are lacking on sleep and there has been trials, we are loving Malachi SOOO much! Life is pretty wonderful. :) We are enjoying being home at my parent's house. We'll be headed back up to Alaska shortly after our 5 week appointment. Looking foward to showing him off to our Alaska family.
