Parker Benjamin Taylor arrived Tuesday, May 22, at 3:04 in the afternoon. He was the perfect size -- 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 inches long. (Jack and Carson were both 21 inches long, but pushing 9 lbs!) Labor wasn't too bad. I went in for the induction that morning at 8 a.m., watched a good movie, then had a baby! I LOVED my hospital stay and ordered lots of delicious room service, watched movies, read books, and held Parker.
The boys love having a new brother. Cameron calls him Baby Pie-keh. Cousin George (somewhat mocking Cam) told Lindsay he wanted to visit Baby "Pie-keh." Cameron said in his angry high-pitched voice, "No Goige, it's 'Piekah,' not 'Piekah.'" (Sadly, my children aren't quite as articulate as the Hickman boys.)
He is so sweet and peaceful, everybody loves him! Jack cannot hold him enough, and makes sure that he gets the longest turns. I feel great and am so grateful to have this wonderful, new little boy. (The fact that I'm no longer pregnant makes me soooooo happy as well!!!)
