Welcome to our World, Zackery

Zackery Dean Futrell made his entrance into the world on Saturday, September 20th at 12:56 pm. He weighed 7 lb. 7 oz. and was 18 1/2 in. long. My water broke on Friday night about 11:00pm (that's got to be one of the weirdest feelings in the world...it took me a while to even realize it was my water that broke). We got to the hospital about 1:30am, and after almost 12 hours we were so glad Zackery made it here safely and healthy. It was a little bit of a stressful labor...he didn't tolerate contractions very well and he wasn't turned the right way, preventing him from dropping down and me from dilating. I am so grateful for wonderful, angel nurses!! Because of them, Zackery and I both got sorted out and ready for his grand entrance. Everything was perfect in the end, and I was (am) so glad that's it's over and he's here!! He's a perfect little round, chubby cheeked baby! He's got cute, fuzzy, brown hair (not as dark or as much as Zander did), dimples on both cheeks, and beautiful, tiny ears. Here are a few pictures from our exciting weekend.




first family picture

Kelsey and Zander made him his first birthday cake, and of course Zander had to draw cloud 9 on it.


Zander just loves him...especially poking him and honking his nose.

ready to come home

Lindsey, Kathy linked me to your blog so that I could see the artwork on your belly and so I could catch a peek at your sweet addition. I have been thinking about you and your family. Congratulations on baby! From one artist to another...love the artwork and the way the belly button was incorporated! Absolutely FABULOUS! Talk soon, Kim Johnson
