Welcome Wyatt Allen Mitchell!

We are so in love! After a night of flipping, multiple epidurals, bed pans, heart rate peaks/valleys, three different nurses, a near c-section, and a half hour of pushing we got to welcome Wyatt Allen Mitchell at 7:35 this morning. I can't believe the instant joy I experienced the moment Wyatt was laid on my chest or everytime I see Matt holding, talking, or just looking at our new baby. He is a great father all ready.  It is amazing.
Wyatt weighed 7 lbs and 3 ozs. He is 20 inches long. The moment he came out, we didn't hear a single peep from him, he has been pretty content since...I think he is saving up for tomorrow!:) 
I can't believe that we are mom and dad. I will definitely post pictures when we get out of the hospital. We left our cord at home! We think Wyatt is pretty darn perfect and just beautiful!:) LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! 
Thanks for your prayers, we appreciated them more than you will ever know!

Congratulations, Jenny! I'm so thrilled for you. After Grant was born, I fell so much deeper in love with Chris. I know what you're feeling - it's quite wonderful! Chris talked to Matt tonight and came and told me his name. I asked how big he was and of course, Chris didn't find out the details for me, so I was so glad to see your post. I love you, am proud of you, and can't wait to see pictures of little Wyatt!

Hi Jenny,
I've been thinking so much about you since Saturday, I knew what you were in the middle of and couldn't stand not knowing how things were proceeding. This is a love you only experience when you have and see that baby. he is so lucky to have you and matt and Maggie for his family. Rest while you're in the hospital, you won't get much rest at home. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Can't wait to see pictures. Love you bunches,
Becky
