Sunday September 30th, 2007 we welcomed our first baby boy to this world. He was born at 6:20 am, Weighed 8.0 lbs and was 20 in. His name is Marcus Lloyd McAllister. I was very happy when I only pushed for 10minutes compared to the hour and 45 min. that I pushed with Emma. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone in our home is adjusting to the changing family. Eric has been wonderful in taking on more duties. Today he took Marcus to the doctor by himself to make sure he was still gaining weight (we had an issue with his eating during the frist couple of days). Emma is trying to figure out why Marcus is here and moms tummy still looks like it has a baby in it. Yesterday she had a stomach ache and held her stomach and said, "Owe daddy, my baby Marcus hurts my tummy". It was really cute. She also calls him Mickey Marcus sometimes. Mom is trying to get use to Disciplining one child while breatfeeding the other and not making either overly upset.
I included some pictures from the hospital. Hopefully sometime tonight or tomorrow I am going to try and take some more pictures of him at home with Emma and his dad.
All is well in our growing McAllister Home. (Thank You to all of you for your help this week)
