Wow, its always a miracle

Hunter Clay Teuscher was born July 20th 2010 at 11:08 am. It was fast and perfect and I'm still in shock that he is here. I went into labor at 6:30 am by 9:15 I was checked into the hospital and he was born at 11:08 am. It all happened very fast and I'm grateful for that. Weston was working a couple hours away at the time so he made it just in time for me to start pushing. Which I only pushed for 15 minutes so I was glad Weston made it when he did. I think the best part of the whole labor story is that Weston got pulled over trying to make it to the hospital in time. Luckily the my wife is in labor story really works and he didn't get a ticket. He weighed 8lbs 1 oz and is 19 inches long. A lot of people have been asking where we got the name clay from. Weston and I couldn't agree on a middle name but we both thought it was cool that Hunter was born in Clay County, Missouri. So there you go, we both liked the name Clay. Now he will never forget that he lived in Missouri for the first 5 weeks of his life.

I think this first family picture is so funny because Haylee and Weston both look so excited.

Oh Sally, I was going to say the same thing. The pictures with Haylee are great and she sure is growing up. Of course I love to see all the pictures with Hunter too. Yay!

Toni said...

Congrats, Karen! A short labor is always a happy one. Haylee is so beautiful, and so is Hunter. Are you guys going with all "H" names? Glad you're both healthy, and I hope you're getting SOME sleep.

That story about Weston getting pulled over was so funny! I'm glad he didn't get a ticket. Even if he did, I'm sure it would have been worth it, right?

Oh my gosh!! I clicked on the blog thinking that "she should be having her baby any day" and what do you know!! Yeah!! How cute and blonde is he??? How have you been feeling? Did you have time to even get an epidural or do you not go that route? I'm so happy for you guys. I can't believe Weston barely made it. I would be freaking out!!!
