It's a boy!! Peter Malachi Lafleur arrived into this world on September 8th, at 12:04 am. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 14oz. All of his sisters were much bigger - and Karis was a whole pound bigger at 8 lbs 14oz. We are thrilled with him. He is such a blessing and labour and delivery went great. Thanks to all who prayed for our baby and for our delivery. Your prayers were felt and God was so present throughout.
After my water broke on Sunday afternoon, we went to the hospital. I wasn't having contractions yet and baby was still facing the wrong way. Strong contractions started at 9 pm and Dr. Busletta was able to turn our baby to face the right way. She remained present throughout the labour to ensure that baby didn't turn back to it's original position. She said that after what happened with Karis "we've got this baby's number." Just before midnight it was time to push - I pushed for 19 minutes and out came our little boy. I can't describe the feeling of complete joy and gratitude that we felt as they handed us our little boy. It was a moment we will never forget. He is a gift.
The handsome boy.
Dr. Busletta, Momma, and Peter. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Busletta - so thankful for her.
Proud Poppa.
Peter = strong rock
Malachi = messenger of God
Proud Grandpa.
The Lafleur name lives on.
3 proud big sisters. Juliette asked "can we take him home?" "Why are his hands so wrinkly?"
Karis was so giggly and smiley while holding her little brother. She is officially a big sister.
They discharged us after 12 hours :)
The girls helped out with a diaper change, only to have Peter pee all over Juliette. Juliette started to cry and said "put a diaper on him, put a diaper on him!" This was the second time we had him pee all over the place. Having a son is a whole new world.
Peter joins in on the bedtime routine.
Thank-you Jesus.
