The Bigham Bunch: Lawson Cade...yea!!!!

Well, the time had finally arrived! It was time for the next Bigham to be welcomed in to the BUNCH! My pregnancy seemed to fly by much faster than it did with Berklie, but I felt like I was able to enjoy this one a little more. That probably sounds weird and most likely doesn't make much sense at all, but it does to me...lol. I guess because I knew what to expect and took things in a little more than I did with Berklie's pregnancy. Anyways, we introduced Lawson Cade Bigham on 1-3-13 weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long at 10:48 a.m. (I thought he was going to be much longer due to the real estate he seemed to be taking up in my belly, but he was only a fourth of an inch longer than Berklie.) We didn't have a name until we LITERALLY pulled in to the hospital parking lot. We wanted to have the initials LCB after Flint's grandfather, his father, and brother, but we just couldn't find one that we loved. So we had them narrowed down to a few "L" names, the last two being Lawson and Landon. I looked them both up on my phone on the hospital, and when we saw Landon was one of the fastest growing names and Lawson was no where in sight of being a popular name...we went with Lawson because of the non-commonness of it. It's not like with a mom named Remica, a dad named Flint, and a big sister named Berklie he could have a common name....lol. Cade is after his daddy's middle name which is Wade, we just changed the W to a C. So all in all, I LOVE his name and it totally fits his little personality. He has been such a good baby...there have been a couple of rough nights, but all in all he has done very well. Berklie loves him, but unfortunately has strep throat right now and can't really get close to him like she would like to. :o( The day of the delivery went well, other than the doctor arriving and hour and a half late. I was one impatient momma!!! So, finally they got the show on the road and within about a half hour Lawson was here! YEA! We had a TON of family and friends there to welcome him, too! HE's a very blessed and loved little boy! Here are some pictures from the day and once we got home! He's such a cutie pie!!!!

I told Flint I wanted one last shot with my belly....he got the "belly" alright! ;o)

There we are in all our GLORY! LOL!

After they prepped me and checking vitals.
Berklie was freaked out to see momma hooked up to all the wires and IV.

We almost have this same exact picture from the day Berklie was born!

Flint and I....anxiously awaiting Bitty Boy's arrival!!!!

"Let's get this show on the road!"

My sisters and niece came, too! :o)

My in-laws, too!

Scared to get in momma lap. She said, "I don't want to see them cut your belly open!" Silly girl, we had to explain that was not going to happen. She is one smart little girl, and has the memory of an elephant!!! My grandma would be so proud of her!
