Matthew Knox Mantooth

Knox has made is arrival and he is the most perfect little man! We got up, packed our bags and went to the doctor on Thursday, October 14th and were told that it was time to induce due to my blood pressure. A very excited Bo loaded me up and took me to the hospital. On the way we stopped at Chick-fil-a so Bo could have lunch and I could have an ice cream cone per the recommendation of the midwife. It was weird and very exciting to sit there and think that I was about to have a baby and we were going to be a family of three! Several people asked when I was due and it was even more strange to tell them that I would be having him anytime now! We got to the hospital about 1:00 Eastern time, notified family and got the party started. My parents had been anxiously awaiting this call so my Mom left work and my Dad headed home right away to get here as soon as possible. After hours of poking and pricking I elected to get some pain meds - those things are great! I wasn't sure what was going on when I woke up around 2:00 am and was feeling contractions. Bo woke up and went to get the midwife - it was time to start pushing! Bo was a trooper and a great help. Knox was born October 15th at 4:31 am weighing 7 lbs 5 oz, 20 inces long. It was beautiful and I will never forget the first time that I saw my son! Now what you really wanted...pictures.

More pictures to come very soon...not much free time these days!
