Baby Turner has arrived!
Just 30 minutes after I hit publish on my post on Tuesday night, I started to go into labor on my own (even though I was scheduled to be induced today).
The labor came on very quickly, and before we knew it, baby Michael Patrick Turner was born at 3:11 am on Halloween morning weighing in at 8 pounds 4 ounces!

I couldn’t resist checking in today to share the news and some pictures with all of you.
I’ll probably do some version of a birth story in a few days, but until then, I want to let you all know that we’re both doing great.
Sure, I’m extremely sleep deprived (and cannot even seem to fall asleep when the baby is sleeping!), but I don’t mind it one bit.
I’ve never been happier in my entire life, and I’m so thankful for my two wonderful Michaels.
I cannot wait to share more details and pictures of the baby with you all very soon.
Have a great day!
