Carson Thomas Smedley arrived Tuesday, April 14 at 1:11 AM. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 20.75 inches long. He is precious and we love him so much already.
Devon did an amazing job. The epidural had some minor complications; the needle went into the wrong part of her spine and is currently causing some headaches and neckaches. When she sits up it makes it much worse. They are supposed to take the catheder out after 24 hours and then possibly do a “blood patch” to remove the pressure causing the pain. It was a quick labor and once Devon was induced, she had Carson in 4 hours. Thanks for all of your prayers! Continue to pray for Devon and her recovery.

Congrats!!! He’s adorable. How awesome that your labor was so quick–I hope mine is the same way!! We’ll be praying that the headaches go away quickly.
Can’t wait to hear what Mason thinks of his new brother!

Way to go! At this rate you may catch Bryan… nahhhhh.
Glad to hear that Dev is doing OK now. I’ll try to stop up and see you guys later on if she is feeling up to it.
