So, it wasn't a false alarm. He is finally here! Here, but not home. He surprised us by being a little on the small side, 4lbs 13oz, but he was 18 inches long. He ended up being wrapped in his cord. Almost 3 times around his neck, once around his body, and once around his feet, but he was perfectly healthy. Apparently I was Group B Strep possitive, but because he was early and he came a half hour after we got to the hospital (that's right, no time for an epideral) I wasn't able to get the antibiotics I needed so they were afraid he might be infected. So he's been in the NICU where they can monitor him, but they say we should be able to take him home tomorrow if he keeps eating well. Infact I have to go back to feed him so I will post more pics later.

Yeah, yeah, he's here! It took my breath away with all the cord wrapping, you are so blessed that he is healthy! I am so glad! And I of course looooove the name! Congratulations to you all.

He is so precious, he sure has the Grigg look, quite handsome!! Thanks for posting so soon, I've had you on my mind wondering if all went well. Congrats!

Yippee! I'm so glad that you posted tonight. I've been watching all day long for a glimpse of my new little nephew. He looks just like Campbell and a little like Cambri when she was a newborn. I'm so glad that he is healthy, we've been praying for you guys and thinking about you a ton.
I hope it hasn't been too hard with him being in the NICU...it was really hard for me when Kaylee was in there, but she was my first so I was pretty freaked. You are such a supermom too so I'm sure you are handling it beautifully! How are the boys doing? Have they been able to see him yet? I can't wait to see a pic of the whole family.
And way to go on going natural, even if it wasn't by choice! LOL Was it as bad as people say? I can't believe you had him 30 minutes after you got to the hospital...the next one is going to be born at home! ;)
Congrats again and we sure love you guys!
Yeah! Congrats to both of you! How exciting. We can't wait to do it again!! He is beautiful!
I just love him! Congratulations! He looks just like a little Grigg baby! Coolidge! What a great name! I love your theme! So fun! You're so good to post! I'm so glad you did! It's all so exciting! :) Cuddle and love on him for us! Wish you were still here!
I want to hold him!!!
Congrats! He is a cutie! I can't believe how tiny! Let me know when you need me to come grab the other boys to play at our house for a while, or if you need dinner or anything. I know how bad this ER thing can get, so let me know how I can help!

Yahoo!! Great job! LOVE the name! I'm so excited for you and all your boys! Just think, including Andersen, you have enough boys for a basketball team! How cool is that!!! (Kris's dream.....haha) Glad that everyone is healthy and doing good! Can't wait to see more pics!
Yahoo! He's finally here! I don't know about you, but this was a really fast pregnancy for me! haha. He's absolutely beautiful and we're excited to meet him someday. He looks just like his older brothers...as it should be and his name fits well with the rest of the fam. Cute! What's his middle name? Hope you're recovering well and I guess you didn't have to worry about being induced after all. love to you both!
Congratulations. He may be small, but he is beautiful. Like I always say, small babies are way better for delivery and recovery. Kathleen and Brandon were huge, but Cody was tiny, it was so nice a change. Congratulations on your sweet new baby boy.
Oh AnnMarie! He is so precious! Congratulations to you and Andersen. Can't wait to see more cute baby pictures.
he's a cutie! Man, it seems like it wasn't that long ago when I babysat for you guys and Mason was just a few months old! now looking at pics and stuff i guess it was a while ago. We miss ya!
Congratulation!! Coolidge is a cutie! He does look so much like Campbell. He is a tiny thing, Ashley was 4lbs 14oz but she was only 17 inches. he is long!! I am glad he is healthy. We miss you guys! Give Mason a big hhug from me, I miss holding him.
Congratulations! He's so beautiful. I'm so glad he made it healthy and all. He definitely looks like a Grigg baby. What a unique name! So neat.
Congratulations! What a stud! I'm glad to hear that he's here safely and I hope that you are recovering well. A lady in our ward just had her fourth boy about two weeks ago. It totally reminded me of you. You really must be a special mom for Heavenly Father to trust you to raise all those men!
Cute!!! I am excited. Good Luck with four boys.
