For nearly a week Tina had been 3 cm. dialated so the doctor made the decision to induce labor. We arrived at Northside Hospital friday morning at 7:15 AM and they started incuding labor at 9 AM. Unlike Hailey's birth this one went very fast. She was ready to have the baby within 2 hours but Tina had to wait for her doctor, who was busy delivering another baby. So after four hours Parker was born.

We were discharged 31 hours after Parker was born. His health is great, he's eating great and doing all the other things that babies should do. Tina is recovering great and is very much relieved at how well the birth went. The next few days will be filled with getting used to having a second child and helping Hailey to adjust. This is an exciting time and we're thankful to have a healthy addition to our family.
