Cameron Benjamin Marshall

We got quite the surprise early Saturday morning. I woke up to a pretty painful contraction at 1:30 a.m. and he was born 4 hours and 45 minutes later. Cameron is a baby after my heart arriving 16 days early! He was 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long, winning him the title of our largest baby. Here are a few details of the labor for anyone interested. I was dilated to an 8 when we got to the hospital at 4:30, I started begging for my epidural right away, but didn't get it until a little after 6:00 when I was dilated to a 9.5. The pain finally went away after 2 sets of pushes and he was out after another set of 2. Quick and easy! So far he is pretty mellow. The kids love him, some of them maybe a little too much! We will be getting better pictures posted soon!

Whoop! Congrats again! He looks great! Lorel says that he "is so cute and has nice lucious lips. And more hair than Ella has now."

That was a sneaky move trying to get the most liked child--but props to you.

Can't wait to see him again.
