Meet Bentley

Cam says he could set his clock by when I go into labor. With every baby I've started labor at 7am on the dot, and Bentley continued the trend. When I woke up last Thursday morning, I thought I might be in labor so I hopped in the shower, washed my hair, and did my makeup, knowing it'd be a couple days til I could get around to doing those simple tasks again. This labor proved to be a "fast labor" again too. We arrived at the hospital around 9:30am and I progressed pretty quickly, only having to push twice and he was born just two and a half hours later at 12:05pm.

We welcomed Bentley Cameron Voge into our family on Thursday, October 20, 2011! In just five hours of labor, he was born healthy and with a strong set of lungs. We are just enjoying his sweet spirit and are finding he seems to be a laid back and easy to please baby. We feel so blessed to have him in our family and the girls are just loving him to pieces. Sydnee loves telling us not to bug him when he's sleeping and she is his little protector while Hallie loves holding him and protects him from Sydnee's over-protectiveness. Here are some pictures of our sweet little man.

The girls were so excited to meet Bentley. They gave him lots of hugs and kisses and Bentley gave them a gift when they got to the hospital which were Halloween sticker books and a beanie baby stuffed animal. Then Daddy let the girls help change Bentley's first poopy diaper... yummy. Of course it brought questions about what that "thing" was between Bentley's legs so Daddy had the forced opportunity to teach Syd about a boy's private parts. To which Sydnee replied, "That's gross." Thankfully though, she loves the rest of him :)

My THREE kiddos and I! I can't believe we have three kids, boy are we outnumbered!

Grandma Voge meets Bentley for the first time! She flew in to help out with the baby and we figured arriving five days before Bentley's due date would be plenty of time to watch the girls when I go into labor, but Bentley had his own schedule and arrived hours before Grandma's arrival. Luckily everything worked out anyway, and we're just happy to have him here!

Bentley and I are ready to go home! He's sporting a cute little baseball outfit that I got from my shower. What a handsome little guy, we just love him to pieces. We're so blessed to have him in our family.
