Our New Addition!




Well, we finally got our new addition. Much to our surprise, it was a boy. Throughout most of the pregnancy I thought for sure we were having another girl. Not so, our little boy was born at home at 7:52AM on Friday, January 18th. He weighed in at 8lbs 8oz and was 20.5 inches long. His name is Lucas Glen Nelson, we will call him Luke, he is doing great as am I and we are excited to welcome him into our family. The birth was fast and furious, only 1 of the 3 midwives made it in time for the birth and she was only there about 15 - 20 minutes prior to the baby being born. But it was awesome to be in my own home and would do it again in a second, the home part, the labor and delivery part is still in question!!
