Introducing Blake Edmund McKee

He's here, he's here!

Well, technically he's been here for a few months now. Third child, enough said.

Blake Edmund McKee arrived on Friday November, 17, 2017 at 10 a.m. He weighed a whopping 9 lbs 11 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He was born at Memorial Hermann Katy hospital in Katy, TX.

Blake was taking his sweet precious time to come into the world so we decided to induce the day after his due date, and boy, I sure am glad we did. My body could not have managed a larger child.

 

I had scheduled his induction date the week prior at my doctors appointment, but I honestly never thought we would make it that long, especial since my other two both came two weeks early.

The day before he arrived we were able to make arrangements with our very good friend, Traci, to have the bigger boys picked up and taken care of while we were in the hospital. Then Jesse and I were able to enjoy a good dinner and milkshake before heading to the hospital to check in.

We checked in Thursday night, the 16th, around 10 p.m. and got things started right away.

By morning, we were ready to meet our little guy. Three whole pushes later, he was here and in my arms. All the nurses were anxious to weigh him.

On Saturday, Nov. 19th, big brothers Emerson and Henry got to meet Blake.  Henry was infatuated with him and Emerson didn't quite know how to act around this new little thing.

We had a very uneventful delivery and hospital stay, which considering how stressful the past few months had been on us because of Hurricane Harvey, I definitely welcomed this stress-free event.

By Sunday, we were able to go home and be a family of five for the first time. Blake fits in perfectly with our little family and we could not feel more blessed to have him in our lives.
