Janson Robert Biehl Has Arrived

Our beautiful baby boy is finally here!! Janson arrived on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 2:53 pm, weighing 6 lb. 11 oz. and measuring 20" long. WE LOVE HIM SOOOO MUCH!! It has been an amazing few days! Our journey started on Friday afternoon. I started having very mild contractions at about 2:30. They weren't painful at all yet though. I was walking, talking, eating, and laughing through them. They stayed that way all evening. At about midnight, the contractions got pretty painful. They were 8-10 minutes apart and hurt like crazy! I didn't sleep at all that night. Finally, at about 4am they lasted about a minute each and were 5 minutes apart. At 5am, it was time to go in!! We got to the hospital and by 8:00 I had my epidural! The anesthesiologist was my favorite person that morning! I was able to get a few hours of sleep, and by 2:00pm, I was ready to start pushing. I couldn't feel a thing, so it was super easy to get the little guy out! We were actually having fun while I was pushing. Between contractions, we all (including the doctor) were watching the olympics and laughing and cracking jokes. I know this probably isn't normal, but I actually enjoyed every minute of the delivery. I am so glad that I ended up with this Doctor. He's the best!!

Janson was born and it was the happiest moment of my entire life. It was the most amazing thing in the world to see the little person that grew inside me for 9 months for the first time. I can't even describe the instant love for him that I felt. Of course I started crying as soon as he was placed on my chest. He is such a beautiful little baby-perfect in every way. I am so grateful for him. I can't believe that Heavenly Father has trusted me to take care of such a precious little person. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a mother. It is already the best blessing I have ever received. I am so excited to raise Janson and share every exciting new moment with him.
