Our baby Sam was born on April 6th at 10:11pm.
He was 2 weeks early and weighed 7lbs, 5 oz. We went to the hospital that night around 6pm that night for me to be induced. Around 8pm they broke my water. Contractions didn't really start coming until close to 9pm. But that's when one of our favorite shows, Lost is on. I jokingly told Chris that I can't have the baby until Lost is over. Contractions started coming everything 3-4 minutes apart during that hour. After a contraction ended I'd ask Chris what I missed. A couple of minutes before the show was over, the nurse came in to check me and she said I was almost dilated to a 10, so I could start pushing. What? I didn't expect it to happen so fast. I gave a few practice pushes with the nurse there, and then when the doctor was there and ready, I pushed him out. It was so fast and I was so happy to have a smaller baby than my other two boys. We love having a little baby to hold. He is so sweet and brings us so much peace to our crazy lives. Other than being exhausted from lack of sleep, we are happy and adjusting well.

Samuel is so cute!! He definitely looks like your boys did as babies. So precious! I can almost smell the sweet baby smell just looking at him. I'm so happy to see more pics of my beautiful nephew. George and Tommy are growing up so much too! You are surrounded by handsome little men.
angie!!!! I can't tell you how happy and tearful I felt when my mom told me what his middle name was.....oh my word...that is truly special!!!! love it. he looks just like your other boys!! yay for boys!!!
Congratulations! You have such a sweet little family. That last picture of Samuel is absolutely adorable (the other ones are too, of course, but I just love that picture!).
Get as much sleep as you can (I know that is much easier said than done during the first 6 weeks though). Good luck!
I'm so glad this labor was so fast for you! What a blessing!
Congratulations again!
Congratulations! He is so handsome. You have such adorable kids.

Congratulations Angie! What cute boys you have. I'm so glad to hear that everything went smoothly. (It sound like I'm going to have to get into Lost before I have any more kids! :)
Congrats! That is so exciting and I love that you were watching Lost while in labor!! Too funny ;)
In the very first picture Sam looks a lot like George to me, but not so much in the last picture--definitely a part of your family though. We miss you guys and hope you are doing well!
He's beautiful! I'm glad that it went well!

What a cutie!! I'm glad you all are doing well. Three beautiful little boys and I love the name.
Get some sleep. Hope to see you guys sometime soon.
Can't wait for Sam and Deck to be buddies. And so, so glad it's over for you. Hang in there the next few months. We love you.
