So we arrived at the hospital at 7am and by 8:30 I was officially hooked up to the IV with my "make this baby come out" meds running through me.  Dr. Frank wasn't messing around this time around.  He wasn't going to let this go past Thursday.  He's got places to go and people to see. 

To my beautiful baby boy Collin:  You arrived at 3:12pm on a Thursday.  Your perfect in every way.  You look EXACTLY like your brother Benjamin.  (I have a feeling people are going to think your twins as you grow up.)  Your peacefully and calm and a true gift from God.  Your my biggest baby, but my easiest delivery. - Go figure.  You already smile.  Some people will say that's just gas, but I don't believe that.  Today you are 5 days old and I am writing this as you are sleeping in your bassinet.  I just took the picture above.



Your first picture.  I knew you were going to be big.  I called you my Ninja when you were in my belly.  I talked the doctor into inducing me a week early because I just knew you were ginormous!  It was either that or there was more than one of you in there.  Thankful it wasn't that.



Your first picture with your big sister and brother.  Would have loved to have the picture include Ben too, but he was being a butt.  He was a bit tired from everything going on.

Our first official family picture.  What a motley crew?!?!

I tried to take your and Ben's nuk out of your mouth's, but your brother Benjamin is a bit protective of you already.  He wouldn't stop crying until we put your nuk back in your mouth, even though you didn't want it.  I have a feeling you two will be best friends for life.  I hope I'm right.
