Getting him here was quite the adventure--hence the title of this post. We had a missed epidural stick, another attempt that poked through causing a "not quite numb in the right places" result & spinal headaches after. Then the first solution for the incapacitating headaches didn't take so I was back in the hospital less than 24 hours after discharge trying the blood patch procedure again--needless to say 4 epidurals in 4 days wasn't my idea of "feeling better after the baby was born". However...we have felt very blessed in many other ways. Our friends, family & ward have been incredibly helpful, the recovery process has been amazingly quick with almost no "post baby hormone" issues, grandma is here taking care of us all--what more could we ask for? The Lord has truly inspired those around us to help when we needed it most and Collin is healthy and happy. I'm sure more photos will come in the next week but here are a few quick shots to satisfy the grandmas/grandpas and out of towners DYING to see the little guy.

Congratulations! I love his name and his hair. He is such a handsome baby. We miss you guys at the reunion. Stewart was nice enough to help me out to teach some latin dance moves. I was not the greatest teacher but it was fun to dance a little bit.
What a beautiful baby! 3 boys...how fun! ;) I can't believe the epidural story...i'll still get one though. Good thing your mom was around to help out.
Oh my goodness Natalie! The things we go through to get these precious babies here! But it is worth it! He is adorable! Can't wait to meet my little nephew and get these cousins together! Congratulations!
