He's arrived

Now presenting the long awaited arrival of our baby boy...

Zachary David Davaul !!!!!

Zachary was born on Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 3:03pm. He was 6lbs. 12oz. and 19 1/4 inches long. We were scheduled to get induced on Wednesday morning, but when Bekah called that morning the hospital was full and her induction was pushed back until 10:30. We waited patiently at home and finally arrived at the hospital and was in our room by 11:00. Bekah was already experiencing contractions the night before, but they were irregular and very far apart. Wednesday morning around 10:00 on the way to the hospital her contractions were actually going about 10-15 minutes apart. She was progressing all on her own so her doctor decided to break her water about 12:00. After that her contractions began getting closer together and stronger, but still bearable. They decided to go ahead and give her pitocin(medicine for inducing) about 1:30 to strengthen her contractions. Bekah knew at that moment that she should maybe go ahead and ask for the epidural at the same time because she was starting to feel a lot of pain at this point. Well after they did the pitocin and the epidural she progressed very fast! An hour and a half later Zachary arrived into this world with ease! Mommy nad baby are doing great! We stayed in the hospital until Friday and arrived at home Friday evening. Kaiden is LOVING his new baby brother and is really a big helper. He is always wanting to hold him, kiss, him and love him. He is very gentle and it is so dang cute to see him with Zachary. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy baby boy! Zachary had done really well, is already nursing like a pro and sleeping well. We are very excited to start our new adventure with two little boys!
