The big debut

Here's the moment you've all been waiting for. Daxton Luke Nesbit is here! He was born November 1st - so today is his 1 week birthday. It was a long labor (almost 19 hours) but thank goodness for epidurals! He was 8 pounds 6 ounces and 19.5 inches long. I never would've guessed I was carrying something that big in my belly!
We are so happy he is here! He is such a great and happy baby. We are all still getting used to each other and eventually we'll have it all figured out. He sleeps pretty good and usually wakes up every 3 hours for some food. He makes the cutest little grunting noises.
Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

He is my little sweetheart :)

I am so excited he is here!!! Congrats to both of you. What a cute little guy, I love all of that dark hair. So adorable! I am glad to hear that things went well even after almost 19 hours of labor. Epidurals are the best especially with an over 8 pound baby! Good job girl! Can't wait to meet the little guy. Let me know if you need anything at all! Enjoy every second!

He is so darling. I am surprised at all the dark hair though. I'm glad it's all over and you finally have him there with you (out). Rest when you can. You'll figure it all out soon enough (then he'll change everything you think you've figured out).

He is adorable! Sorry about the long labor--but the end result sure is worth it. Good luck with all the adjustments-it's a hard time, but also a very precious time. Congratulations!
