Kolten's Arrival

Kolten Rhett McKenzie - born August 4th at 1pm.  Weighed 6lbs 15oz and was 18 inches long.  We are so glad to have him here.  His birth went very smooth - the best of all my csections for sure.  So far, he is a super good baby.  He is nursing really well, sleeping good, and hardly every cries - I just hope it continues!  Matt and I are still in shock I think - that we have 4 kids.  Still seems surreal.  I don't feel old enough to have 4 kids!  It's only been 11 days since he was born - we already can't imagine our family without him, he makes it feel more complete.

In recovery - a few minutes after finishing surgery

Kaden, Bai, and Lex couldn't wait to come see him!

Love this face - this was about the only time we heard him cry

Matt and I could both just stare at him forever 

Ready to leave the hospital!  I think this was my shortest stay of them all.  C-section was Wednesday at 1 and we got to go home Friday morning.

Home for the first time

Kolten and Nana (by the way - a HUGE thanks to Nana!  For staying with the kids while we were in the hospital, buying groceries, cooking freezer meals, cleaning my house, etc, etc, etc.  Thanks mom - love you!)

The kids are all fighting over who gets to hold him - wonder how long that will last...

It is so fun having a new baby in the house.  (Although you forget how hard it can be, even with a good baby.  I will be glad when the postpardum emotional roller coaster is over and when he's not eating what seems like every hour. I will also be glad once things calm down and we can get back to a schedule.  But for now, I'm just trying to enjoy this sweet, sweet baby boy!)
