He is here!!! He decided to make his grand arrival on September 17Th at 3:07 p.m. He was 6 lbs 13 oz and 20 inches. The labor and delivery went so smooth and I feel so blessed. I did hypnobirthing this time around and since I had Hayden natural I knew kind of what to expect. Well it went so much better than Hayden's. I checked into the hospital around 1:00 and was at a 5 and had him at 3:07. It's amazing what a little relaxation can do. It was still really intense but so much faster. (Hayden's labor all together was 16 hours with around 8 hours in the hospital Xander's was on and off for days probably 7 hours of timeable labor and 2 hours in the hospital). The other big difference is that with Hayden I probably pushed for an hour or more and Xander came out in 2 pushes. My mom and I took Hayden to my aunts house and then she drove me to the Hospital. We called Tyler to tell him I was at a 5 and so he decided to head over from work. He got there around 2:00 so it is a good thing he came when he did or he might have missed it. :)
Something that surprised me is that he doesn't have very much hair!! In my family all the babies come out with so much hair that I just never really pictured one of my babies to be so bald. It also looks like it has a little red tinge to it and he might get blue eyes (which I also said would never happen). Funny how genes work. :)
He is such a little angel and is so stinkin' cute I can't stand it. He is so calm and precious. I love the way he smells and I love his little noises he makes. I love how he will just stare at me and how he will find me with his eyes when he hears my voice. He is just adorable.
As for big brother. . . He is doing awesome. He always tells us go get the baby he is cryin'. And when he first saw him in the hospital he said. "awe he's so cute!" and he said it in the cutest little voice. He wants to hold him and kiss him. So far he loves him tons so that is good. I'm sure that will come and go through the years. :)
Me and my cute boys. It's okay to be out numbered when they are all this cute! :)

GIVE HIM A LOVE FOR US.
WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS.
O.k. so many things to say all at once. First of all congratulations he is adorable. That last picture with all of you is the cutest picture and I love your hair. You look way to cute for just having a baby. I am glad he is here and everything went well. We'll talk to you soon.
hypnobirthing? I'm going to have to hear about this in person! Call me when you have some down time (which I don't expect to be anytime soon!)
Xander is a little dream boat! You all look wonderful! Congrats to the new family of 4!
What cutie. Congratulations! I'm glad it went so well for you. You look great too by the way! One of the best after labor pictures I have ever seen.
Oh my goodness! First of all, LOVE your hair...don't know if I have ever seen it that short. You look great! ALSO, so funny about my baby's hair and the lack of your baby's hair! How fun that our babies will share the same birthday forever. Can you believe it? I am so excited for you...for us. This is such a neat time and I have been thinking of you a ton. Hope you are doing good. Lots of love to your darling family!
He's a cute baby! I'm glad he's healthy and everything went good. And your hair is really cute.
:D You look so pretty in those pics never would have guessed you just had a baby. I can't believe he's a baldy. He's adorable and I can't wait to come see you guys and meet him :D
Congrats to you all! I am sure that Xander will be a heart breaker just like his older brother.
how neat for such a positive labor experience!! congrats to you all ...
Oh happy day! Xander is so cute. Congratulations! You are a rock star - I cry just thinking about childbirth without an epidural.
CONGRATULATIONS! Xander is a doll. I was wondering if he had made it here or not and was so excited to see all of the pictures. I too am shocked about the light hair and blue eyes? You look fabulous and your family is adorable. Can you email me your mailing address when you get a chance? My email is hdevlin10@hotmail.com.
Congrats! He's so cute. I can't wait to meet him. You look awesome too. I told Brooke that you two are making me baby hungry. I'm starting to feel like James needs a little brother or sister.
Congrats! The baby is a cutie! Glad everything went well with the delivery. Enjoy the new addition!
he is so CUTE!!! Congrats Marli! I am so jealous two pushes and you were done. That is awesome. It takes me forever to even dialate. I love his hair color and eyes. He is just as cute as can be. And it sounds like Hayden is just going to be the sweetest big brother!
He is so adorable! Congrats! I think you need to be my labor coach next time :). And do you have short hair?!? I love it. Can't wait to meet little Xander.
What a beautiful baby. Congratulations on your new addition!
(I didn't know it was possible for a mom to look that good so soon after child birth. I'm green with envy.)
Congradulations Lloyds and way to go Marli. We are glad to hear that all is going well and we hope to see you soon.
Oh...you're making me baby hungry again talking about the 'new baby smell' and the cute lil' noises.Time just goes by way too fast. He really is a cute newborn! ps. Your hair is way cute too! Congrats. I can't wait to meet him. I think Tay is starting to feel better...so we'll see you soon! I can't wait!
Yay! Congrats! What a beautiful family! And yay for hypnobirthing-although I will admit Im scared to do it again-but it sounds like it went well, so it gives me reassurance.
Congratulations. You know that is Uncle Kip's Birthday. He turned 50this year, so we will always know how old Xander is. I don't know what hypobirth is, but I had 6 natural and I know relaxation makes a huge difference, but my labors were never long and always 2or 3 pushes. Way to go.
He is so cute! I love his eyes. Congrats
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy.
Love,
The Hernandez Family
CONGRATS!!! you guys are such an adorable family!!!

Congrats! We are do excited for you and your family! We wish you all the best! Jen
Congratulations :) He's so cute, I love how his and Hayden's little noses are the same. You look awesome after childbirth Marli! Xander and Hayden are too cute!
Congrats! He is the cutest, and seriously you do not look like you just had a baby. You're pictures are too cute.
Congratulations. He's so precious and adorable. I hope your recovery is going well and that you are all getting rest.
He's gorgeous Marli! Congratulations guys! I hope you're doing great!
