9 pounds 8 ounces, 19.5 inches
He has lots of dark hair like his big brother and looks like our family, but totally himself too. So far he is a very laid back little guy and is pretty easy to settle when he gets upset. He even gave me the treat of sleeping from 2-5am this morning! We love him very much and Levi is starting to show a little interest too. We are all doing well! I feel pretty great. SUCH an easier and smoother "birth experience" than Levi. I labored about 8 hours total. Got a good night rest before labor started. Got to the hospital and found out I was already 7 centimeters dilated. Labored un-medicated for less than 3 hours in the hospital and pushed about 10-15 minutes! (If you remember from Levi's delivery it was 30 hours of labor with 1.5 hours of pushing!)
We will post more pics and updates later. Please keep little Joel in your prayers. He has a heart murmur and had some testing done this afternoon including and echocardiogram. So far everything is normal and hopefully this is just a murmur that will be harmless and that he will grow out of. We know God is watching over us and him :) We just feel so blessed to have been given two very special little boys to call our sons!
