It's true, We are officially parents now.
Lerin went in for her 41 week appointment on Wednesday morning and Dr. Leavitt sent her over to the hospital to get checked in and that he would be over at about 5 o' clock. Thankfully, Paula went with her and then stayed through the evening with us. I had class that I was told to go to, so I did that for most of the day.
After that, things went pretty well. But to make a long story short: Hayden Craig Christensen was born at 11:34 pm on February 2, 2011. He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 22 1/2 inches long! He instantly won our hearts and is just a cute little boy that rarely fusses and just makes everyone smile.
Here are some of the pictures I've taken over the last few days.

After she got checked in and upstairs, (about 12:30 or so) the nurses (with help from the anesthesiologist) got her started on a pitocin drip. When I got there after 3, she was still going on it and had only progressed a little bit more, but her contractions were getting stronger.
When Dr. Leavitt came in around 5 and broke her water, things really started moving. Lerin made it up to a 4 before they gave her the epidural (the guy did an amazing job!) and was progressing slowly until her cousins Rachelle and Stephanie stopped by for a visit and made her laugh, then she was at an 8: after only one hour!

Lerin is doing fine, but she is currently just taking it easy and trying to get recovered quickly. We're excited to have him here and happy to be new parents.
