We have another baby born into the Phelps family.
Kendra's water broke on Sunday September 7th. She had been scheduled to be induced on Tuesday but her body had other ideas. She called me about 3 PM that Sunday and let me know that she would be going in. I headed straight to her house. They got on their way and I (along with Leesa) helped the kids get packed up for a few days. We also helped the kids get their rooms cleaned up and ended up folding a few batches of laundry while we were there. Someone from their ward had brought over some homemade tomato basil soup and Leesa said I should take it to feed the kids. I gladly said I would!
Leesa took Rafe with her while I had the other three with me. We got back to the house and made up some grilled cheese to go with the delicious tomato soup.
Rick had left the day before to go fishing for a week so it was just me taking care of the kiddos.
We played games, got baths in and then settled in for a Disney movie. By the time it was finished there was still no word on a new baby. The kids went to bed excited at the thought of a new baby in the morning. All the kids slept in my room.
I fell asleep around 10:30 while she was having contractions about every 1-3 minutes and was fully dilated. I woke up around 12:30 with this beautiful picture.
Brach said, "he has brown hair for sure."
We had all been wondering if he was going to have red hair like his brothers.
He was born at 11:38 PM and weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long.
The kids were super excited when they woke up and Scout didn't want to go to school. I told them their mom would be sleeping after a long night and that we'd go visit after school.
I lulled around that morning thinking I would wait to go in so she cold rest.
I got there around 11:00 and got to hear the birth story and hold that little bundle of joy!
He is SO sweet and I am so thankful that he is here safe and sound.
I picked up the kids after school and they each oohed and awed over him and took a chance to hold him. They went in order of age....
Grandma and Grandpa Boman came just after we got there.
A beautiful family of SEVEN!
This is number twelve grandchild which brings us to an even dozen. We are so blessed!
Welcome to the world Wyatt Clyde Boman!!
