Introducing...


Beck Grayson Mondragon!
Weighing in at 10lbs 8 oz and 23 inches long. That's right, you heard me, I gave birth to a toddler. He was born Friday, May 7th at 8:05 am (same time as big sister Ellie!) at IHC Womens Center. He was born cesarian section...a procedure that I thank my lucky stars for everyday! We got quite a few comments about his weight and height! We had 4 nurses tell us it it was the longest baby they have ever had at the hospital. We had the anesthesiologist tell me that I would have probably died on the plains had I been a pioneer and tried to have that size of a baby without a c-section (jokes on him-I would've died on the plains WAY before I had kids...like 1/2 mile into the trek). But everyone who has seen him has agreed that he looks like he is at least 2 or 3 months old. It's been so fun to have a new baby back in our home. The girls have been amazing big sisters-Ellie even gave him a "don't worry about it" kiss on the forehead after he sprinkled on her arm. It's already so different having a boy in our home, but different in the most incredible way. Our little family is complete and we are so blessed to have the love we do for each other.

PS-Check out those catcher mitts! Zowie, he is going to be a big boy!!

He's darn cute! Rick & Amy's Kennedie was 10 lbs 1 oz and the cutest baby ever:) I'm thankful for CSections too, although this one was pretty rough. It'll be awhile before I think about doing it again......I totally agree about the "pioneers" --Heavenly Father knew when I could survive:)
CONGRATS-- we'll have to get together during the summer w/ Britt and her kiddos.
