Travis Lawrence Huapala Doxey

Travis is here! Natalie started having hard contractions - 4 minutes apart - at 1:20 am today. Joe drove her to the hospital - they arrived at 2:14. The contractions were coming hard and fast but they got the epidural in pretty quick. Nati dilated to an 8 at 7 am and her water broke while her nurse was checking her. It actually broke because the nurse was making her laugh! Natalie only pushed for 33 minutes! Travis made it here by 9:54 am and weighs 7 lbs 2 oz and is 20 inches long. He was 4 weeks early so who knows how big he would have been had she carried him to term!

We will post pictures as soon as Joe gets his laptop here. Travis looks a lot like Enoch and has lots of dark curly hair!

Congrats! Wow....7.2 FOUR weeks early? I bet you are glad you didn't go much longer! It's funny how they can be such different sizes... Makenna was13 days early and only 6.6 who knows. Glad all is well, can't wait to see him!
