Wyatt Galland Hoopes

Born 8-20-08 2:26 pm
7 lbs 12 oz
20 in.

Labor and delivery were seamless and great! The only glitch was me passing out just at mention of the IV, I hadn't even seen a needle. Other than that it was great. About a 7 1/2 hour labor, and I didn't even have to push-the contractions did it all on their own. Plus I got the epidural before they really started pitocin, so really no pain.

Fresh out of the belly. He has some Jesse looks but definitely not a clone of the other two. He has blond eyelashes, eyebrow and light brown/blond hair. Such a little stud!





Faith loved him and wanted to hold him the entire time and was doing her best to push everyone else away.


This is a Jesse face.



Jesse had been waiting for this day for so long. He was ready for a brother. He would kiss, hug and cuddle my belly all the time. I didn't get to see it, but when they first got to the hospital Wyatt was getting his bath and they set up a stool at the nursery so the kids could watch. Karen, our babysitter, said that when Jesse was watching him he got tears in his eyes. Wyatt is lucky to have a brother that loves him so much.

He's been such a sweet baby and we our so thankful to have the healthy little guy in our arms.
