Keaton Duke arrived at 1:41 on 11/19. The quick and the dirty (being typed with one hand and one ear as the other is listening for Huck on the monitor).
BP was up at the midwife and I was told to meet at the hospital in a hour (after a quick airport pick up of older sister). It wasn't as high as last time, but high enough to risk me out of the birth center. My midwife broke my water and then after tons of walking, bouncing and showering (and no pitocin or epidural) I was at 6 centimeters. I then took another shower and was pushing within minutes. I pushed for 13 minutes (about 3 hours with Huck) and little Keaton was born.
I got to leave the hospital at about 9 last night and had a bit of a tough night with the boys waking each other up during the night, but my family helped out a ton. I am a bit tired this morning, but quite happy with the new pack members!
Thank you so much for all the well wishes!! Lia, Huck and Keaton

It is very exciting to add young Keaten Duke to the family tree!! What a gorgeous baby!!! Is the name connected to Uncle Duke at all? We are very happy for you. I'm guessing that your folks are just busting!!
P.S. I spelled his name wrong in that last post, but I got it right on the family tree haha. Sorry.
He's wonderful. Congratulations.
