Clark didn’t want to share the baby. He was very sweet and very soft with him.

He did, however, want to “share” my breakfast.

    Oh my goodness your family is growing so much Laura. Congratulations on Maxwell, a cute name. Your labour must have been awful if you were in so much pain if he was face up. My first labour was a back labour pain and yes it is one of those one where the contractions were on top of each other and didnt stop at all, I wouldnt wish that on anyone. My second one was great and I know why some women say that labour isnt that bad after that one, but if you get a terrible one it sort of puts you off for quite a while. You never know how it is going to go do you. I am glad that you are feeling better and no tearing, well you lucky girl is all I can say. The boys look so much like Nate with their blonde hair dont they. I bet Clarke will be the excited one at home with the baby! Your numbers are starting to even out with the boys and the girls arent they, lol!
