Hendrix James Keller

He's finally here!! Hendrix James was born on March 30th at 3:43 p.m. Here are some pictures of our cute little guy!!

Mommy and Hendrix....we had quite a day!!! Here are the highlights:
I had my water broken at 8:30 am
I got a bunch of pitocin before deciding that i needed an epidural (it worked this time!!!)
Hendrix had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck TWICE
After some scary minutes with a low heart rate the doc used a vacuum

A very happy mommy and daddy that their little boy made it safe and sound

Look--he's got hair...hehe :)

Even in back.

OUr cute floppy baby. 7 pounds 6 ounces--20 inches long

Meeting his big sister. She was so sweet and cute!! She even sang him 'twinkle twinkle.'

Hendrix also got to meet some of his cousins--here he is with Caleb

Our cute little guy.

I'm totally crying!!! aw. . . I love him already. He is so tiny, I can't even believe that quinn was even tinier than that! I am reeling over all his dark hair, you little stinkers--- stealing all the hair for your babies and leaving none for the rest of us!
I need to come and meet this tiny floppy baby, or else I might be convinced to have another one soon! jk. He is perfect. Love him, love you guys, hope everything is going great at home!!!

So, I have looked at the pictures several times, and I just love that last one, where you can see all his arm/shoulder fuzz. I miss that. . . and yes, I'm still crying! You have two babies!!!

Natalie said...

Heather said...

He is SO CUTE Amber!!! You look great after giving birth.... wow! I'm glad the epidural worked this time! CONGRATULATIONS to a new adorable baby.

Audra said...

What a beautiful baby boy! Nice job Amber. I can't believe how gorgeous you look after having a baby! So glad he is here and can't wait to meet him.

Leslie said...

He is just as adorable as I knew he would be. Congratulations you guys, I can't believe he is actually here! I'm so glad the epidural worked this time for you, that is pretty scary though with the umbilical cord wrapped twice! I have no idea when we'll be down next, but I can't wait to meet him! Sorry he won't have a best bud like Quinn and Evie... we'll get to work on that for you. As long as they're a year apart, it's okay-- right? But like I said, congrats, he is so darn stinkin' cute.

So perfect! I can't believe that hair! Congratulations!!!!

P.S.- watch out for that vaccuum delivery. It gave Thad torticollis and made him miserable for months. And no one warned us it could happen.

Shawn AND Chelsey said...

Ohhhh! He's ADORABLE!! We're coming over to see him...can't wait!!
AND i LOOOOOOOOVE his hair!

Aaron, Whitney, and kids said...

I LOVE his name. I love Quinn's name too actually. He is such a cute newborn, and he somehow looks just like both of you. Congrats!

Oh Amber and Dave HOORAY for him being here!!!!! What a complete and utter sweet baby! You make some pretty darn cute babies. You look fabulous! I got a little teary at all the adorable pictures, and with quinn singing to him already, SOOOO sweet!
Hope you are doing okay at home. I MUST come visit soon and hold a tiny baby again! (mine never was "tiny" and now he's gigantic) so I need a tiny baby fix! I'll bother you next week or the week after, give you some space for awhile.
I'm glad you got to have an epidural, I was scared for you when I heard you might be having a natural labor?! :)
Love the loads of hair on that little man, and the hairy body is my fav. Good job you two! Such a handsome little man he is!

Jody and Jace Martin said...

Congrats Amber! What a sugar!! You look AMAZING. Are you sure that YOU gave birth, or did you just have a labor and delivery seregate? I wonder how much one would cost? Hehe.
