so here is the short version of griffin's birth. since i was induced i had to wait for the hospital to tell me what time i could come in. they called wednesday night and said to be there at 5:30 am. this sounded great to me! at 11pm as i'm just about to go to sleep they call and push the time back to 10am. this makes me very mad and of course now i can't sleep. we get to the hospital and they start the IV. finally at noon they start the pitocin, i get my epidural, and they break my water. i let them know that things move pretty fast when i reach 4cm. finally at about 5pm i'm a 4. they get the room all set up at about 5:20 she checks me and i'm a 10. she calls the dr., not knowing he left the hospital, he says he'll be there in 5 minutes. she looks at the other nurses and they all try not to look freaked out. rosie got to the hospital around 4:30 and was planning on leaving the room during the birth. she is now stuck in the corner and can't get out. the dr. comes in, i push thru 2 contractions and griffin is born march 1st 2012 at 5:33 pm. he weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces and was 18.5 inches long and perfect. rosie survived being in the room and didn't see anything to disturbing. she said," wow, i'm impressed you didn't scream or cry or anything." i explained thats why you should always get the drugs so you can actually enjoy the birth!!! so thats the story of little griffin being born. nice and boring just the way we like it. here are a few pictures of our new little man.

these 2 crazies thought he needed a few friends to lay around with. yes they are in their swimming suits. no, i don't know why.


all of my friends that have little boys told me i would fall in love with this little guy as soon as i saw him. with a face like his how could i not!!

as you can see griffin has his daddy's profile just like his sisters do.
