And then there were FOUR!

That's right! Jakob Ryan Kunz was born May 18th at 7:54 pm. Weighing in at 7 lbs 10 oz and 19 1/2 in long. If any of you are surprised by this you are not the only ones. We did not plan to have our baby that day. I went in for my appointment the morning of the 18th absolutely miserable. Most of you know that I had been having horrible problems with my hips, pelvis and lower back for the last couple months. It was hard to move at all and the only cure was having a baby. I was determined to let him come on his own since my last induced labor was so horrible. However, when we walked into the appointment and my Dr saw me he tempted me with "Do you just want to have this baby today?" I said yes without even thinking and headed for the hospital admitting my husband informing our parents and family on the way. Needless to say this labor was much easier than my last. They broke my water at 10, started pitocin at 12 and I had him before 8 that night. Completely shocking my family! :) The labor was very easy. I was finally given a narcotic when I was dilated to an 8 and I had Jake in less than an hour from then. I told Ryan that I almost felt guilty because it was so easy. I felt so good, I was ready to go home that night but of course they wanted the baby there until Thursday.

It's been a little over a week since Jake was born and things are pretty crazy! We are so excited to have him, now we just have to find a system to take care of 2 kids. Especially when Ryan is at work, things get pretty insane around this house until he gets home.

As for all of you wondering if I got over my boy phobia...
