{Daniel}

As of October 1st, at 9:55 a.m.

We are now a family of 3!

Long story short...

Tuesday night, I started having contractions as I was leaving work,

but I wasn't quite sure if this was the real thing and didn't want to get my hopes up after being sent home from the hospital the day before.

Plus, my due date wasn't for another 2 weeks.

Once I was home, my sweet husband and I watched tv and just relaxed.

So after trying to sleep with no success, my contractions quickly went from 10 minutes to 3 minutes.

I got Bronson up at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, and told him it was time to go to the hospital.

After 9 months of thinking about this day,

it was here and I couldn't believe we were actually going to meet our boy!

Once we got there, my contractions were about 1-2 minutes apart.

And surprisingly I was already dilated to a 7!

I was so shocked, and went right up to the delivery room.

Not too long after, I got an epidural and we finally were able to sleep for a few hours!

Once a few hours passed, the nurse came in and said it was time to start pushing.

After a few pushes, the nurse called my doctor and this little guy didn't want to wait!

Before the doctor even showed up at 9:55 a.m.,
Daniel Jon Pace
came into this world at

7 pounds and 20 1/2 inches.

Labor couldn't have gone more perfect.

I don't think Bronson and I stopped smiling for the rest of the day.

Danny had a full head of hair and his eyes were wide open from the moment he showed up.

That whole day was perfect and we had such amazing family who shared it with us.

Danny is almost a month old now and it has flew by!
Being a mom and being with Danny everyday is better than I could have imagined.
Even though I've been peed and pooped on multiple times, and gotten a whole lot less sleep, everything else makes up for it.
He still has a full head of hair, and without putting coconut oil in it, it stands straight out in every direction making him look like a crazy haired monkey.

He is such a cuddle bug.

Which makes it just about impossible to get anything done around the house,

But he's just too cute to not hold 24/7.

He absolutely loves baths, being burped, car rides and cuddling on Mom and Dad's chest.
I love watching Bronson be a dad. He is so sweet and good with Daniel.
I never thought I could love two people this much!

Before I write a novel, here's some pictures from our exciting month.
