Steve and I would like to welcome to the world William Joseph Schmidt!! He was born on February 9, 2009 at 12:13 pm. He weighed 8 pounds 3 ozs and was 22 inches long.
Steve and I had to be at the hospital at 6:00 am on Monday for my induction. I had to be poked 3 different times for an IV. The nurses couldn't get a vein that would work. The doctor broke my water at about 8:30 am and she said that I was dilated 5 to 6. She also said that if I wanted pain medicine that I shouldn't wait to long to get it because it probably wouldn't take very long. Well it really didn't take very long. I was in labor a total of 3 1/2 hours and after 15 pushes my little Will was born. It was so awesome!!
Steve and I have both noticed that we are much more calm about William which is good. Aidan is doing well with his new brother. He likes to rub his head and he also like to take pictures with him. He also goes around saying "baby brother". He has been such a good little boy about this big change.
Well here are some pictures of William! I know this is what you all have been waiting for! If you would like to see some of the pictures on the hospital website here is a link. http://www.our365.com/NewbornPortraits/BabyDetail.aspx?birthid=c65745c6-7912-4de6-864d-63532ac3cfdf
