Final belly shot, the night before labor & delivery. I thought it looked like I had a beach ball taped to my belly:
I thought I was having contractions about 10 minutes apart on Wednesday morning, but the hospital monitor said 4, so I got a lovely epidural. We arrived around 7.30 and were all set up by 8.15. My parents came and we all watched some movies and TV until about 3, when I felt the urge to push. They let me push about 3.30 and 6 minutes later, James came out! We were thinking he was about 8 pounds, but the scale showed a bit more...10 pounds, 7 ounces!
And then there were 4...
Alec, checking to make sure baby James has eyes that work.
James arrived at 3.36 pm on March 24, 2010. 10 lbs, 7 oz and 21 inches long.

Look at you with that cute belly! Bet you're glad to have him out of you. He's a cutie. Congrats!
You know, your mom and I won! Ha ha ha! LOL!
You said "no Patrick," and look what James' middle name is! I LOVE it! What a great name (Alec has a great name too!) and what a big, beautiful baby boy!
I'm sorry I haven't called or posted congrats sooner, we've been super busy and taken up with Dr.'s and stuff. All is looking on the up, though!
I have been thinking of you all and praying for you--I'm so glad James Patrick is finally here, that you're relieved not be pregnant anymore and that you and him are well and healthy!
Great job, Kylie, we love you! A family of four--sweet! :)
Welcome to the world, little James and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!
Especially Alec, you're a big brother now and James is lucky to have you!
All Our Love & Blessings,

Congratulations! So exciting! I hope you are all doing well through all the adjustment!

Wow, no wonder you felt so big toward the end. That is one big baby! And to think someone as tiny as you pushed him out in 6 minutes - you are amazing! Enjoy those boys!
Congratulations on the new addition! I've gone all metric since leaving the UK, but I'm still fairly sure that should have been an epic delivery. James is one very big baby! Get some rest.
