Dawson

Dallas became a big brother on November 26th.  Dawson Scott was born at 10:03pm, weighing 8lbs, 7oz, and was 22 inches long.  The delivery went smoothly and was relatively quick.  Seeing him for the first time was something I can't put into words.  There was so much anxiety and fear for the last 9 months and to finally see this healthy baby boy was such a relief.  I felt a level of exhaustion afterwards like I've never felt before.  I think between Scott and I, we asked the nurses 4 times when the hearing screening would be taking place.....he passed. :) 

Since being home, Scott, Dakota, and myself have all come down with bad colds.  Dakota passed it along to her babysitters too,  Nana and Grandpa Bauer. :(  We are so lucky that Dawson has been such a good baby so far, he just eats and sleeps.  It feels weird not have all the extras as we did with Dallas.

Dallas has not acknowledged his new brother quite yet and the more we try to show him the "baby," the more he just crawls away and goes back to doing his own thing.  Dakota on the other hand cannot leave him alone!  She is always bringing him blankets and toys and wants to help with everything.  It's been challenging because she has the worst cough of anyone, so we are trying to keep her away from Dawson!!

Overall, we are simply enjoying the new addition!!!

Those that know me well, know that I had a playlist on my iPod for "Pushing."
The song that started right as they plopped him on my chest was "Don't Stop Believin."
