Meet Maddox Alexandre Avila!

Our sweet little Maddox has arrived!

On October 9th at 9:26am, we finally welcomed baby Maddox into the world! He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and measured 19" long (although 3 days later he measured 20.25" long ... so we think he may be closer to 20"). We can't stop staring at him, he is so adorable and sweet.

Here is a belly shot right before going to the hospital :)
Labor this time was easy. Yes, you read that right. E.A.S.Y. I still can't believe it. We went into the hospital on the 8th at 8pm to get induced. At 10pm I got the Cervidil, by midnight I started having regular contractions. Epidural at 1:30am sharp. The doctor was called around 9am and after 3 contractions and no pain (yes, you read that right again), Maddox was born! He made his entrance sunny side up and to the side.
Our first visitor was big sister Zoe. She was so happy and excited to meet her little brother for the first time.
Looking forward to sleepless nights!
Here is the famous Cottage Hospital picture everyone takes on their way out :)
Here is a link to Zoe's first blog post to compare :)

We cannot wait for you to meet him!
