Peyton is here!

It's taken me a few days to get back on the computer, but I wanted to share the good news with you: Peyton is here. Peyton Poe Alexander was born on April 9th at 10:28 a.m. in Providence Hospital in Waco. He weighed 9 pounds, 1 ounce and was 22 inches long. I was able to have Peyton via VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), which was a huge answer to prayer. We had a c-section scheduled for the very next day, but I went into labor on my own before we had to follow through with that appointment. I'll write more about the labor and delivery later, but I wanted to get these pictures of our sweet baby boy posted first. Enjoy!

Here is a picture of Peyton dressed up for his newborn hospital picture.

Here is a rare shot with his eyes open. He has been sleeping ALL THE TIME since we've been home, except at night when we put him down and he just wants to be held.

One tired momma looking at her sweet son. I love that he's looking at me, too.
The nurse came in to take his vitals , and he was not happy. I love his scrunched-up neck.

Elizabeth is such a good big sister and has been so sweet to Peyton. She loves having her own little baby doll.
I had to post this picture because I thought it was so funny how Peyton is holding his own pacifier.
Here is Peyton with Elizabeth and my sister Kim's son Barrett. When Barrett first got to the hospital, Shane asked Barrett what he thought of Peyton and Barrett responded, "He's AWESOME!!!!" It was so cute. Notice that Elizabeth is holding Peyton's foot. She's also holding the monkey that she gave to Peyton on his "birth day."
The best picture we have (way to go, Shane!). It doesn't get any cuter than this.
