Our family is complete! Creighton Michael Don Sammons was born on 6/11/08 at 9:09 a.m. He weighed 10 lbs and 1 oz. He was 21 1/4 inches long. I had to have a c-section after pushing for nearly 2 hours because he was stuck on my pubic bone and wouldn't move over into the birth canal. I was scared about having the c-section. I was overwhelmed with emotions and cried during the whole surgery. It was a wonderful sound when I heard Creighton's first cry even though I could not see him because of the curtain literally in front of my face during the surgery. I became nervous when Dr. Cada said "Well, no wonder he wouldn't move off your pubic bone and into the birth canal." I thought maybe the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck (it wasn't.) Then she said "He's a BIG BOY!" I actually stopped crying for a moment when I heard the nurse say he weighed 10 lbs and 1 oz. WOW! No wonder I was miserable during the last few months of my pregnancy. I still can't believe he weighed that much, but the whole experience from pregnancy to labor to the c-section was all worth it. Creighton is such a good baby. I have spoiled him already, though. He only really sleeps if someone is holding him. Needless to say I'm not getting much sleep at night. Creighton has two middle names as you probably noticed. Michael is Justin's middle name and Don was my step dad's name (he passed away from pancreatic/liver cancer in March of this year.) Thank you God for my wonderful family!

Sienna and Carissa love to snuggle baby Creighton!
