Introducing Jason Daniel Arveseth! He was born on Oct. 6th, 2009 at

7:30 pm. He was 7 lbs. 15 oz and 20 1/2 ins. long

I went in to the hospital to be induced around 1:15. By about 3:00

I was FINALLY hooked up to the pitocin and moving along.

Once I got the epidural a few hours later everything moved

REALLY quickly. I went from a 6 to a 10 in 15 minutes and

after only about 20 minutes of pushing he was here.

Probably the easiest labor yet!

Jason has been such a wonderful little guy. He almost

NEVER cries-unless he's really hungry! He is sleeping

really well-we'll feed him around 9:30 and he'll

sleep until about midnight and then get up again

around 4:00 and then sleep until morning. We

have been really blessed and lucky because I don't do well

on little sleep-I can get mean :)

The girls are just loving him! Abi has taken on the

role of mommy, she's always wanting to hold him, feed

him, and she's always cleaning(nesting instincts :).

Every time she comes into view of him we hear

"Isn't he SOOO cute!?!?" I love it. Emma is always talking

to him and kissing him on the head. She still is having

a little trouble sharing the attention, she gets a little

sad, but I have noticed a BIG improvement since we

first brought him home.

I am actually feeling pretty good. I still am pretty worn

out by the afternoon, but physically I am doing a lot

better than I thought I'd be at this point.

Steve can't get enough of this little guy! He is puddy in

his little hands!

We are so happy to have him in our home, it has

really felt like a natural, smooth transition. We have

received a lot of help, phone calls, meals,

gifts, etc. It seems like right as I get caught up on

thank-you cards someone else is knocking on the door

with something for us. Hopefully I can catch up soon!

But here is a big THANK YOU to hold you over

until you get your official one, we really appreciate

everything everyone is doing for us!!!!!
