Hey Everyone! I know that a lot of you have been long awaiting this blog. Our little guy has arrived at last! I had him Saturday at 5:57 p.m. at St. Mark's hospital. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and he is 19 1/2 inches long (the half inch includes the cone head I think:)). I went into labor at about 3:30 in the morning the night before and was redeemed by an epidural at 10:30 that morning, so yes I did go through at least 6 hours of contractions and I totally wasn't against making them disappear (disappear in my mind at least). It was great, but it did slow down the 
contractions for awhile and we worried that I might be headed for a C-section, but lo and behold I finally dilated to where I needed to be by about 4:30 that afternoon. Even though I had an epidural, it was a lot of work pushing the baby out! He was turned sideways in the birth canal, so that made it a bit more difficult, but thanks to my cheerleaders (mom, sisters, husband (nearly passed out in the corner), and a wonderful nurse and doctor) we were able to get him out in about an hour and a half. Cone head and all, we are absolutely in love with our little man. He has a cute little button nose and tons of dark hair that sticks out everywhere! A lot of people have commented that it looks like he has a mullet, but I don't see it, at least I don't want to think of my baby as having a mullet:( Anyway, we 
feel so blessed to have this special little guy in our family and I love being a Mom already. I wouldn't want to be anything else right now. I will post more as I get more time! I'm finding out real quick how fast life can change, but I love this change.

I couldn't figure out how to delete it from the post and I really didn't want to right the whole thing over again to switch it out, but I'm sure everyone can still get a good look at him:)

Congratulations! Klay asked me last night if you guys had had your baby and i told him that I would check your blog today to see and you did! He is adorable! We are happy that everything went well and he is here!
Congrats! I hope that things continue to go well for you! He's a cute lil' guy!

Yeah! I am WAY excited for you! How was the labor and delivery? If you get a chance I would love to hear more details. I'm really weird about wanting to hear every detail about people's labor and delivery since I'm going to be doing it in 7 weeks. I love the name that you guys chose. Your little boy is SO cute! :)
Congratulations! He's such a cute little boy! I'm glad everything went well for you!
Yay! Congrats you guys! Having a baby is so exciting!
P.S. I'm impressed that you already have a post up! :)
Hooray! He's finally here. And he is a handsome little guy! I wish you guys still lived here so I could come and see him. I hope you are both doing well. You will be wonderful parents.
Someone once gave me some good advice. They told me to enjoy being up in the middle of the night with your baby because there is just something special about it. I really did enjoy being up with my babies in the middle of the night. It was so peaceful, and it was just me and my baby bonding It really was Priceless! Enjoy every tiny little moment. They grow up way too fast. Anyway....enough rambling for now. You will be the cutest little mom! Good luck!!
Congratulations! He is adorable. I love that feeling of having a baby for the first time and sloly feeling the huge change in your life and just absolutely loving the baby! Cherish every moment :)
Oh, he is SO cute! He has lots of crazy hair just like Caleb did! I'm glad the delivery and everything went well...I laughed because I can totally picture Brannon nearly passing out in the corner, ha ha! You guys are going to be the best parents, he is such a lucky little guy. I can't wait to see more pictures. I hope the recovery and nursing are going well for you Michelle! When you get a chance, I need your address. If you don't want to post it on my blog you can email me. Tiffanyh2002@hotmail.com. Congrats guys!!!

YAY!! he is so cute! Good Job Michelle. That is such an impressive thing to do. Tell Bran congratulations from us!
Oh how exciting to finally have him here! Congrats! Life is so exciting! He's a cutie!
Yay!! Congrats! I've been checking your blog like everyday to see if you had him! You're right....even with an epidural, pushing the baby out is hard work huh! I also pushed for an hour and a half and I was exhausted. I hope you love being a mom. I just have one thing I need to tell you. If you are breastfeeding....be sure to give him a bottle as well. I learned the hard way and am now stuck with a stuborn baby who only wants the boob!!! Good luck! :)
Yipee! He is so darn cute. I know grandma Nielson was pacing around waiting for this little one to arrive, as I am sure were the parents. Congrats you two. Your life will never be the same but at the same time you won't remember what life was like without him!!!
He is so cute, I don't think Lilly will mind going for a younger man, he has good blood!:)
Congratulations, the New Baby is Beautiful! We are thinking of you.
That little Boy is Handsome! Good job, welcome to parenthood. We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
