Creighton's selfie at one week old. His hair is kinda greasy in this picture. Note: Pictured with his fluffy blanket he enjoys so much.
Welcome to our family - Creighton Thomas Browning!!! Creighton (pronounced Cray-ton....just like the university in Nebraska) was a last name on my mom's mom's (my grandma's) side way back. Thomas was my mom's dad's middle name (my grandpa's middle name). Creighton is our fourth boy and is a joy!!! He came into the world on Thursday, January 2nd, 2014. I was due Jan. 1st. I was going to be induced on the 1st, but the hospital was too full...so the 2nd it was! Pretty sure I would have gone on my own within the next day or two...I was that far along. This was by definitely my best labor and delivery I have had, BY FAR! Best recovery too! I was hooked up with pit at 9:30 am and had him at 2:13 pm. In the past, it was an all day event...into the night. So much better this time. I was in some serious pain before I got my epidural (at a 7 - way far along for me without having an epidural). Then Creighton came within 5 minutes after I got my epidural...it was so fast for me. :) He was 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches long. He is such a sweetie. He doesn't cry much, and so far...(knock on wood) he is easy going. Going from three boys to four boys is a huge adjustment. Whenever they (meaning Creighton and Christian) sleep, I am trying to catch up on everything - picking up toys, doing laundry, dishes, etc. Survival mode is what I am in right now. :) We are grateful this little guy belongs to our family! We can't tell who he looks like - it's different everyday. And we get asked constantly, "Did all of your boys have that much hair?" Yes, all of our boys have been born with lots of hair - having heartburn and your child must not be a myth cause I have sure had heartburn with each one. :) |
