So he is finally here! I went into the hospital at 12 a.m. on Thursday night/Friday morning to be induced. I was already dialated to almost a 5 when I got there and had been at a 4 for an entire week before that. I got my epidural, and thankfully it worked the entire time this time around, and waited for a little bit. At around 3:30 I was still at a 5 so they broke my water. And about 15 minutes later Gaige was ready to be born. We had to wait for the doctor and my mom, and thankfully Gaige was patient and waited for them.
He looks a lot like Bentley did, but just a little bit different. He has 2 dimples, and his eyes are light blue in the middle (most babies have solid gray eyes). And his hair seems to look the same color as Bentley's was so we may have another red head on our hands! We were so excited to have him that we came home early from the hospital!
Bentley's reaction? He didn't notice Gaige at first and has been very preoccupied with his Grams who he is absolutely obsessed with. He tried to hit him just like he hits everything else. And when he left to go home with his grandparents he kissed me and Matt goodbye and then gave Gaige a cuddle, a head butt. So at least we know he knows that Gaige is a baby. And yesterday he pet Gaige on the head. Now that we are home he is a little bit more interested in him but still only tries to get to him if they are on the bed or couch together.
I'm doing great for not sleeping very much in 3 days and I am sure it will all catch up with me soon. We are so grateful for all of our friends and family and their help. And we are so grateful to have another sweet spirit in our home. Heavenly Father's love is felt so strongly with a new babe in the home. Keep us in your prayers 'cause I'm going to need lots of help!
Love,
The Johnsons

Gaige is so cute! Congratualtions!
Hooray! Sounds like a dream-birth. Hopefully some more "dreams" will come your way and you can get some rest.
Congratulations! He is beautiful.
What a charmer! I can't imagine how challenging two little J-boys will be, but I also know that you can do it. I'll be praying for you. (And dreaming of holding that cutie.)
Babies are such a blessing!

Love you! COngrats!
Congratulations! He is adorable. Glad to hear things went well.

What a cutie! Newborns are just so precious and they grow up way too fast. And I have some advice for you now....IUD!
