I'd upload photos of my adorable baby, but unfortunately I cannot as I forgot the cord at home. Oh, well. At least I remembered the camera!
Birth went like a dream. I'm not the biggest fan of Pitocin, but I am a big fan of anesthesiologists. I had an epidural for the last hour or so and it made the experience a lot more relaxed and happy at the end instead of crazy. The coolest part was still being able to feel the baby's head crowning, without it being painful.
His name is Leo August Coyne, he was born after about 7 hours of labor at 11:19 p.m. on Monday the 17th, and weighed 7 lbs 8 ounces, 21 inches long. He's got dark hair and is fuzzy all over like his big brother, and for anyone wondering does not have hypospadias.
It was love at first push, I tell you :-) He's cute as a button, but the little turkey doesn't want to eat anything. He hasn't nursed since 1 a.m. or so, but his blood sugar is at a good level.
I'm going back to sleep (I've slept a total of about 4 hours--just haven't been able to doze much) until our little one wakes up.
If anyone wants to come visit, I'm in room 113 at Orem Community, or you can call me at 714-3113.

I may have to wait until you're home. I've got a mild sore throat :( But congrats and I really like the name!! I'm so glad that things went well.
Wait, is this really Emily? Pitocin? Epidural? 7.5 pounds?
I'm glad to here everything is going well.
Congrats! I'm glad the labor stage is over and you seem to be doing well.
No visits from us d/t the cold but if you feel like talking to someone I'd answer the phone. I won't call you in case you are napping... Ü
Congrats!! I love his name. You have to change your blog name to And Then There Were Four! :)
love you!
Yay for Emily! Smaller baby this time around means quicker recovery, hopefully...

We loved seeing you tonight :) Such a cute little Leo!!! I'm so happy to be an aunt again!
I love you & I'm thinking about you - glad everything went well. :)
I am glad that you finally had that baby. Congratulations!
CONGRATS! I'd come see you guys, but Vince and I are both sick from all our vacationing 8-o But as soon as we're all better, you can bet we'll come over to play! Especially since I only have a few weeks left here!! I want to see everyone one more time before I leave, so keep your eyes open for some kind of playgroup or something. Love ya!
Congratulations on your new little boy - Leo is such a cute name and I'm sure he is as cute as his big bro! So excited for you guys
Congratulations. Isn't the epidural heavenly. I had just a little dose with Bradley and was able to feel it all (not quite pain free, but it was better than not being able to feel anything). Hope all goes well with the jaundice. What a bummer huh? Enjoy your new bundle o' joy.
