Our little miracle has arrived!! We are so blessed and filled with joy to welcome our new son into our home. Introducing...
Levi Matthew Schulz
Born January 25, 2016 2:43pm
7 lb 7.5 oz; 19.5 in
Levi decided to pleasantly surprise us by coming nine days before his due date! I think he may have seen the note I left him on the kitchen counter last week. Although that doesn't quite add up because I hadn't started teaching him how to read yet. We're making better progress now that he's out of my belly.
Summary of labor (please scroll on if uninterested): My water broke around suppertime Sunday evening and things moved pretty slow. They started me on Pitocin at 3am and I eventually got an epidural at 9. The last few hours were pretty relaxing. :) Levi arrived exactly twenty-one hours after my water broke and we were oh-so-happy to meet him!

We got quite a few excited visitors that evening! I will spare you from the half-million photos that were taken, but here are the happy grandparents!

| The kids had to stay out in the waiting area, but Levi came as close as he could to see them. |
We ended up staying three nights at the hospital so the doctors could watch his jaundice. He ended up spending most of Thursday under the bili lights until he was discharged later in the afternoon. Other than that, we are very thankful that he seems to be a healthy baby!

| Headed home! |
The first evening was a little overwhelming, but we are recovering nicely and getting settled here at home.

| Levi finally got to meet Uncle Bill when he came home from college yesterday. |

We are enjoying our little one so much and are looking forward to the adventures of parenthood that lie ahead! God has been so good!
