Welcome Maddox

We are thrilled to welcome our newest member of the family...Charles Maddox Fulmer was born shortly after 2:30 on Tuesday, March 9, 2010. He weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and measured 20 1/4 inches long. The c-section was completely different this time around having not labored and being quite aware of my surroundings, however we had a wonderful experience in the hospital and went home a day early. My recovery was quick and even easier after this pregnancy for which I am incredibly grateful. We were also lucky enough to have family here with us for almost 3 straight weeks, helping us with cooking, cleaning, and of course spoiling the kids rotten. Seriously, Kaelan got more presents for becoming a big brother than Christmas and his birthday combined I think. Speaking of our newly named big brother, he has adjusted quite well to his new role. He enjoys holding him and hugging him, although he's still learning that hugging does not require squeezing as tightly as you can. We're enjoying being a family of four and can't wait to watch our two boys grow together. I'm only posting pictures from the hospital right now because there are so many. I promise to do another posting with more recent pictures ASAP. Hope everyone is doing well. We can't wait to introduce you to Maddox!

Waiting in our triage room. We had to arrive at the hospital at noon, 2 hours early so they could monitor the baby and get me all prepared. I was VERY ready to get it over with since I hadn't eaten since 10 the night before.


All dressed up and ready to go.

My doctor, Dr. Benson, came to see us just before we left for the operating room. He is an amazing doctor and an incredibly nice man. We were lucky to have him as our surgeon!

"Why did you take me out???!!!! Stop bothering me!!!!!!"

Almost smiling now that no one's poking at him.

Hating his first bath.

"Get that sun out of my face already. Can a baby get some sleep around here?"
