We had a baby!

Nolan K. Swallow joined our family on July 1, 2014! He is such a sweet baby and we are blessed to have him in our family.
On June 28th, my family and I went to the Logan, UT temple and completed Bobby's temple work. It was a very nice session, and much needed and special day in the Temple. I was worried I wouldn't even make it to or through the session as I was 3cm dilated all the week with frequent, but inconsistent contractions. However, all things worked out and Nolan decided to wait a few more days. 

Our next doctor appointment was Tuesday, July 1st. My doctor was supposed to be gone the rest of the week so we got the only appointment we could get that week. During the appointment we found out I was practically 5cm dilated, with no labor. Dr. Miller didn't want to send me home, afraid that when things got real, I wouldn't make it back to the hospital. He sent us straight over the Labor and Delivery! I was secretly hoping for this, but definitely freaked out when it actually happened! By 11 am we were checked in and my water was broken. I'm a firm believer in epidurals, so we got one of those quick and hung out all day, resting and napping. Around 4:15 it was baby time! Nolan came so easily for me! With Grayson my labor was so long and my recovery was so difficult, I was terrified. Nolan's labor was a dream labor! It made me believe that I could have a 3rd baby! We have been home, just chilling! It's been a wonderful experience. We are tired, but that's to be expected! Grayson has been great as well! He isn't put off by Nolan crying and constantly gives him kisses.
