Introducing Nixon 7 lb 9 oz 20 inches

Paige & Christian had their bag packed and a birth plan ready which included a midwife, a natural calm birth, and their's and Nixon's favorite music. After about 10 hours of labor and the midwife out of the country, Paige reluctantly agreed with Christian that an epidural might be a good idea. As we all texted a sigh of relief, "Thank the Lord"!  Yes the epidural was a good idea because after another 8 or 9 hours it was very clear that Nixon was just too big of a boy and a c-section would be needed! There goes the birth plan completely out the window Once the decision was made this picture with the new daddy and his son was taken 20 minutes later!
