Jamon and I went got to the hospital at 530 (Holy cow it was early!) on Monday and a couple of hours later! Viola! A beautiful baby boy! :)

We named him David, after Jamon's father who passed away 7 years ago - His birthday was January 29 (we were going to do the c-section that day but my doc was going out of town :(
Rawlins is a family name from my side - I love it but don't think I would use it as a first name - and Jamon says it's too country for us anyways!

David is a skinny guy! Even some of the newborn pants I've bought him are HUGE around the waist! He doesn't like to be fiddled with - once he is comfy in one position he fusses if you move him! He is definitely an opinionated little man!

He came home to a house full of sick people - so on Feb 10 I took him to his doctor because he started coughing, she sent us to the ER in Schumpert, and (after a few hours) we were sent to the pediatric ICU. :( He had tested positive for RSV. The doc at the hospital said it was just a precaution because he was so young. He actually did really well! It was a loooong two days though. Its no fun being in the hospital! I was so happy to bring the little guy home!

As for his big sister, Molly can't get enough of him! She is always concerned that I am going to leave him somewhere! I hear "Uh-Oh Baby!" a lot! She probably gives him 100 kisses everyday and would LOVE to hold him, but obviously that doesn't happen! She has been a great helper - loves throwing dirty diapers in the trash can!

We are super excited to have our little man at home!
