Baby Neely is Here!

Robert Myril Neely IV decided to join us in the real world yesterday. He was about 3 weeks early and took mom and dad by complete surprise. I started having a few contractions yesterday morning but I really did not think it was time. By about 3 in the afternoon I thought I might want to start timing them by 4:15 my water broke. At about 4:45 I was at the hospital and had dilated 4 centimeters. I got my epidural at 6:45 and by 8:30 I was 10 centimeters and ready to go. Robert was born at 9:26 p.m. weighing in at 6 lb 3 oz, 18.5" long with a full head of black hair after! He is doing great! Here are just a few pics, don't worry we will keep everyone updated.

About a minute old
