He's finally here!!!

Ross Jacob Ray finally decided it was time to come exactly one week overdue he was born Saturday May 9th at 1:09 p.m.  Everyone was starting to think that I was crazy for not getting started but I have had such long labors being started with the girls that I wanted to see if going into labor on my own would go any better.  I am glad I waited.  I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and I woke Jared up at 6:30 to go to the hospital.  We got there at 8:00 a.m. and he was born at 1:09 that afternoon.  Only 5 hours at the hospital Jared and I were both in shock. Weighing in at 9lb. 14 oz. he is cute as can be and a very good baby.  Thank you to all of my family helped with the girls and to Jared's parents for helping for a couple of days since we have been home.

Can you believe my first baby is 11 years old.  Abby is just all around good.  She just radiates goodness.  She is such a great helper and is always worried about someone else and boy does she worry.  I have never been much of a worrier so I guess Abby got the mom share of that, she worries enough for both of us.  I think it makes her a great big sister.  She takes good care of all of us.  

Abby got a new bike and clothes and of course a book that she has been wanting.  She loves to read and gets a new book for every occasion.  Abby was a good sport about no birthday party this year since being nine months pregnant doesn't really put you in the birthday party mood.  She just wanted to make daddy's pizza and watch movies so that is what we did.  Jared always takes the girls on a daddy daughter date for their birthday.  They went to a movie and then to one of their favorite places, the book store.
