OAKS ARRIVAL!

Our sweet little Oaks was late. Not just a day or two, but like a week late. He just thought it was too cozy in there I guess. My folks came down just a few days before his due date and then we waited and waited. Even though we tried to be induced we kept getting bumped. It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster and needless to say we didn't get much time with Mema and Papa afterward once little Oaks arrived. Not only that but Mike had to go back to work right away too, so I was alone very quickly with four children. With every new baby, for me the first 3 months are 100% survival mode. Often times when I look back on that time, its like it never happened. Knowing this is my last little baby I'm trying my best to soak it in and enjoy (as much as possible) the sleepless nights and the not washing my hair for 5 days, and being postpartum chubby (yuck) and all that great stuff.

Here I am 1 day away from 41 weeks getting ready to have a baby...FINALLY!

Dr. Hardy is an amzing OB, I'm so glad I had him there. This was Conference Sunday

This was little Oaks coming home outfit. I figured it was pretty perfect!

Lincoln and Everett meeting Oaks for the first time. It was adorable and Lincoln has been so good with him from day 1, just gentle, loving and wanting to hold him all the time. I never would have guessed that, but I love it. (the video with this is adorable!)

Vienna and Mema got to meet Oaks that night. He was born after 8 so the boys were both asleep. She was super excited to meet him and hold him and be a big sister.

Sweet little guy!

His brothers came visit and he left with a pumpkin on his hat.

Such a good big sister!

We left as soon as we could to keep the bill low. 

I cant believe that will be my last pregnancy, my last delivery and my last baby. 

I have been so blessed with wonderful pregnancy's and completely straight forward deliveries, except I never went into labor on my own. 4 babies in 4 different hospitals with 4 different OB's, those are some serious stats. I want to say 4 different states, but it was only 3. 

We have been so blessed, now its just to keeping them all alive, teaching them right and being patient and loving through all their "learning"
