We were lucky enough to welcome a beautiful baby boy to our family on Monday, October 22, 2012. Labor came pretty quickly, and as we reflected back on it, we realized that if Christien didn't come home from work early this round, he would have missed it. Went into labour at midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning and Nolan Richard Short was born at 6:53 am. Pretty intense labor, but I was able to do it without have a C-section, which was really important to me. Knowing the kind of recovery that comes with a C-section, well... I just really wanted to avoid that. Especially with having another one at home. I now have a family full of boys!! I can't wait to watch Reid and Nolan grow up together. Reid already loves his brother so much. He's full of hugs and kisses. I think that there is a little bit of jealousy there, but we're trying our best to give them both the attention that they need and deserve. So far, Nolan is proving to be a pretty chill baby. He likes to snuggle, but he'll nap wherever you put him usually. He's also taken to a soother, which some mums might say is a nightmare, but I'm glad that he's got something that he can use to help soothe himself. Reid is still dealing with soothing issues at almost 3. Christien is home until the beginning of December. He has been working the last few days, just doing some side work while he is home. And we've had lots of visitors and are still expecting more this weekend. Lucky little boys to be loved by so many people.
