Baby McCall pictures

McCall is now one month and I cannot believe it. He has grown so much. He's going to be a little chunk!
The first picture was taken of him on his one month mark. I love to see him smile!
The yellow shirt says "little brother". He is in his car seat taking a nice nap outside. It was 62 degrees with no wind on Saturday. It was awesome! We worked and played outside for hours.
The next picture he is 3 weeks old in his Sunday outfit. The cute sweater was made by Aunt Judy (complete with a Boise state patch too!)
The last pic is all the kids in their feet PJs ready for bed (my second favorite time of the day!)

I have been feeling so guilty that I haven't posted pictures of McCall yet... but....Just the thought of blogging is overwhelming!

Here is a short version of his birth story:
McCall was born at home on December 20th at 6:50 pm. He weighed 8.4 lbs and was 19 1/4 in. My parents and siblings came into town that morning. My mom went with me to my midwife appointment while the rest of the clan hung out with the girls. I voiced my concerns to my midwife about not being seen until after I was 42 weeks (my 42 week mark was Christmas Day). She checked me and let's just say it hurt and she sent me home to rest. We went home and I laid down at around 1:30 for about an hour. After getting up and watching tv and visiting for a little bit, my mom went to get some food for the kids. When she got back I was uncomfortable enough to not keep a straight face so we headed down stairs to start timing my contractions. My mom was a great help. We timed my contractions for awhile and they were getting to be about a minute long and about 5 minutes apart. I called Monte at about 3:30 to let him know I was in labor. I then called my midwife and she said to call back in an hour. After laboring for a bit I called Monte to have him come home. He gave me a beautiful blessing and he was a great support for me. I called my midwife just over an hour after I called her the first time to let them know that my contractions were more intense, lasting over a minute, and now only 2 minutes apart. Alex took the kids to Sister Porters. The midwives arrived just after 5:00. I had a lot of back labor and was having really intense contractions. I had a hard time trying to stay relaxed. It was a pretty painful delivery because he was born posterior (face up). When he was born the midwife said "what is it Daddy?" And Monte said "it's a boy!" I just couldn't believe it!! Finally a boy :) when the girls got home they didn't know what we had so when the came in the room and I told them it was a boy their faces lit up and they were so excited! They all love their little brother and especially love to kiss him on the head. Mia even loves him but she said to me tonight "Daddy hold you McCall, Mommy hold you Mia"
We are so happy to have a healthy baby boy!
Enjoy all the pictures!
