MAX'S BIG DAY

Individually and as a family we had prayed for another little one for over 4 years. Many times we would answer Bay and Jackson's questions as to why everyone else were "getting" babies, but we weren't. They were always understanding and just really wanted a little baby at our house. Like everything else I guess I can't do anything without a little drama, so after praying and waiting we were finally blessed with another family member. God truly is great and will carry you through every time of your life, if you will just let him. The photos to follow are here to share our joy and excitement with you, our friends and family.
The morning of September 8th, 2009, day after Labor Day, we welcomed our newest little Rinehart into the world. Bay and Jackson were the first to know we were having a baby, they were there when we found out it was a boy and have been very involved in this pregnancy. It really has been a family working together to get Max here safely.
I was actually having some pretty strong contractions the day before and the day of the scheduled cesarean section. I wanted a photo just for proof!

Here I am getting placed on the external fetal monitor with my sweet nurse Miriam to help me out. I'm so glad she was there that morning. I just love her to pieces! She's a wonderful nurse and awesome friend, definitely a blessing.

The boys wanted to show you the chocolate covered pretzel rods I made for them to pass out in their classrooms to celebrate Max's arrival. Super Yummy!

These were some of the pretzels, gift baskets for my girls in L&D and on 4W along with a couple of our thank you cards. I just love the photo on the front!
