We would like to announce the birth of our second son Dalton. He joined us after exactly 40 weeks, to the day, indicating he had his father's penchant for punctuality as well as his nose.
Weighing in at 7 lb 10 oz and measuring a staggering 22 inches long, he tortured Mommy for a mere 18 hours before making his appearance at St. Luke's Hospital in Allentown on July 15 2011, 1:18 am.
After the arduous experience of birthing Cayden, we attempted the Bradley Method (again) for this birth, otherwise known as husband coached childbirth. This method relies on the husband as a supportive, communicative coach throughout the entire labor. We approached this round a bit differently, given that we had tried and failed with Cayden (JD took morphine after 25 hours, 3 hrs before Cayden made his grand entrance). We have many newfound insights which we will share later in a dedicated post. For now we are happy to talk about our beautiful new son.
For the 10% of the day when he is the "Angry Baby" he is truly a red, spitting spectacle. But he spends most of his life sleeping, squeaking, eating and looking cute. We have been blessed with another sweet baby and are enjoying every moment of it. Cayden's enjoyment matches or surpasses our own. He lavishes kisses and affection on Dalton, follows us to diaper changes, and informed me that was his job to take care of Dalton. The Sprayberry expansion has been surreal and amazing.
Welcome to the world littlest man, we love you.
