THE BIRTH OF OUR BLESSED SON...ELI PHILLIP VAHJEN

Eli Phillip Vahjen born August 25, 2010 @ 12:14 pm 8.2 oz. and 20.5 in. long I went into labor at our house and started having contractions at 11:00 tuesday night, which is the same time I started having contractions with Noah. They were 10 minutes apart all night long, so we did not go to the hospital. We called the doctor at 7:45 and he said, "well come on in and lets have a baby!" We got to the hospital and I was already 5 cm dilated, so they started my epidural, started me on pitocin, and broke my water, and only an hour after that I was already dilated 9 cm. I only had to push for 30 minutes and our little baby Eli was born. His color was great and he was healthy! What a blessing for Brian and I. We were so concern about the health of our baby, so when he came out healthy, we were so relieved! We thank everyone for all their prayers. Eli was born 2 weeks early, but we were so blessed that he made it full term. So far Eli is a great baby and has made it so easy on Brian and I. Noah is doing great with Eli, especially for a 16 month old! If you ask him "where is baby Eli, he walks over and points to Eli. Too cute! God is so good and we feel so blessed to have our new addition to our family.
