Gavin Owen Winters

Our 3rd beautiful son has arrived! I had my 40 wk checkup this morning, and I hadn't progressed much. I was also measuring small, so they sent me over for a sonogram to make sure everything was ok. Everything was great, thankfully!

I started having contractions while we were out to dinner, about 7pm. I've had a lot of contractions over the past 9 weeks, so I wasn't sure it was really labor or not. We headed home, and I asked Jason to put the kids to bed because I wanted to time the contractions and rest a bit. Well, over the next hour, the contractions because stronger, so I knew something was up. I called my neighbor to come watch the kids and we headed to the hospital at 9:30pm. As we made the 3 minute drive to the hospital, my contractions became closer (2 min apart) and much stronger.

At 10:06pm, Gavin Owen Winters arrived! The cord was wrapped around his neck, so that was a scary few minutes, but everything turned out just fine. He's happy, calm and easy going so far. Colby and Logan are loving every bit of him!

Our new family of 5!
