We have a new baby boy! We decided to name him Enoch - I really tried to make Salem work but it just didn't fit - Jeff gave me a free pass for boy #4 if I want, only because he doesn't think we'll have another one! Anyway, we named him Enoch, from the Bible and Walid from Jeff's best friend and part of our family, Walid Kaakoush. We love his name and it fits perfectly! He was 7lbs 15 1/2 oz - although he peed (on me once) three times before they weighed him! Yes, those habits have stayed with him as I have been pooped and peed on more with this baby than I have with the other two boys combined! He was 21" long and is growing so fast! He is the cutest little baby and we are all SOOO excited to have him in our family! The boys love him and are so cute and so good with him. They laugh hysterically whenever he 'bombs his pants' - Enoch has gained a lot of 'street cred' with them since he can do that whenever and wherever he wants without having to say 'Excuse Me'!
Jeff's mom, Cathi came to help out and we loved it! She got to be there for the birth and help me bathe my baby until she left - I was too scared - he is so tiny! She played with Asa and Asher every day so that they never felt left out or neglected! She did all my dishes and cooked and pretty much saved our lives! Needless to say, we didn't want her to leave but she had things set up pretty well by the time she had to fly off with her magical umbrella! We love you Tutu!
I got an epidural for the first time with this baby and loved it! I was literally laughing and winking at Jeff when I was pushing because I couldn't believe I was done already - I hadn't even felt anything - how could I be done! I loved that and have been able to recover really fast which has been great! I love all of my boys and have to force myself to share because I could just sit and hold and look at Enoch all day - which we do sometimes! Dishes can wait!
