Our little man is here and arrived Wednesday, September 29, 10 at 7:16am. Here is the story.
Tuesday I had a doctor appointment and I was dialated to a 4 and the Dr said any day. Well That evening I really wanted to go to my Tea Party meeting and since I wasn't feeling anything I convinced Shaun to let me go. I got home and all was well. I was of course not sleeping much through the night because I was so uncomfortable and so I asked Shaun to sleep on the floor so I can take up all of our king sized bed. He willingly made his bed on the ground. Well around 2:30 in the morning a "pop" occurred and water went everywhere. Sorry for the details but it was the funniest feeling ever. I sat up and said....."well Shaun it is time to have a baby, my water just broke". I wasn't really packed so I threw some stuff in a bag, grabbed the kids and drove them over to my in-laws.
We got to the hospital around 3:30am and they checked me and I was dialated to a 6. They got me to my room, started my meds for my group b strep and the epidural lady came in. I was numb and comfortable by 5:00am. So Shaun and I sat and talked for a bit. I started texting my mom who was going to be flying in later that day. I called Sarah to come down to the hospital, I needed a photographer. (so you can thank Sarah for all these wonderful pictures). I told her to come be there around 7:00am.
We are not flashing gang signs, just showing this is our 3rd kid =)
Sarah comes strolling in around 7:00am and a few mins later the nurse comes in to check me. I was now at a 10 and ready to go. They put my legs in the stirrups and the nurse said, ok push you are having a contration...I pushed but couldn't really feel what I was doing so I asked the nurse "am I pushing right?" Then Dr. Holmes said, ok here he comes and lickity split out pops our sweet baby boy. They took put him up on my chest and normally I'm crying for joy at this point but I just stared at him and said "that's it, he is out". It was weird not having to push and do a full on workout having a baby. Sweet Rigdon was 7lbs 11oz and 20.5 inches long.
Good ol' Dr Holmes!! I just love him and grateful he is my Doctor.
Proud new parents
Seiously, It was so nice not to be exhausted afterwards.
Millie brought treats for baby brother.
Our little family, well not so little anymore.
Male bonding
My mom and sister flew in a few hours to late but were excited to meet the new little guy.
Wugs, Mom, Rigdon, Me, Sarah
He of course sleeps most of the time but after eating I would try and keep him awake for a bit, and he would be so alert. Ryker and Millie didn't have as much hair as he does. I just love it!
Oh isn't he the handsomest boy ever!!!!
Ryker just LOVES his baby brother. He is so sweet to him and loves to touch his squishy checks.
Amelia is the other mother hen. She wants to hold him and feed him and burp him.
The kids have been great, they have actually been playing better together this past week. So I hope they continue to play together and have fun together.
Rigdon has been the best baby. He eats, stays awake for an hour then sleeps for 2 or 3 hours, then repeats. He is very content and I love to just sit and stare at him. I hope he continues to be this amazing. Well I'm in love all over again and can't believe I have 3 little kiddos. Being a mom is the hardest thing ever but SO worth it. I'm so grateful for the AMAZING family and friends who have helped us out. What a true blessing Rigdon is and I'm so glad I'm his mommy.

Congratulations to the Martineaus!!! I miss you Leah and remember our fun times in Ward Council Meetings.... And yes, would you believe.... IM STILL GOING!!!!
Yeah! So excited for you guys. I love all the dark brown hair and am so glad your labor and delivery was so easy :) Your story reminds me so much of my third as well in that I hardly had to labor or feel a lot of pain and he also sort of slid/popped out!
Congrats to the Martineau family!!! He is gorgeous! Just like the rest of you. Leah you look way to good to have just had a baby. =)
Congrats! He's such a good lookin baby. It doesn't even sound like there was much work delivering him either, that's awesome. I can't believe you looked as cute as you did that early in the morning.
Congrats Leah! He is REALLY ADORABLE! But all your kids are! #3 is always great! We'll talk later about #4!
My goodness Rigdon is SOOOO cute!! I am so glad that I got to meet him the other day too!
The recovery for my third has been a breeze as well. I am so glad that everything went well for you! I had that same nurse! :)
Your kids are DARLING! I am so happy for you guys.
