Welcome Baby Boy Billingsley!

We welcomed our brand new baby boy to our little family today.

He was born at 7:39 pm MDT weighing in at 7 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long.

He wouldn't come on his own so we had to be induced. It felt a little weird for Steph to come to the hospital without being in labor but after a few minutes of the Pitocin and we were in business. After waiting for nearly 7 hours the doctor decided to do a "trial" push. That's all it took. One hard push and a couple little ones and he was here.

My first thoughts when I saw his face was that he looked like James but really we're not sure who he looks like. We'll have to let the swelling go down a bit to get a solid verdict on that one.

His big sister and brothers were very excited to finally meet him. Whit was a bit disappointed at first but all she had to do was hold him for a few minutes and she was in love.
