Keaton Russell Dettinger
Keaton was born on Father's Day. It was the best Father's day gift Jake could have ever received. We went to the hospital at around 7 p.m., and I had him at 11:36 p.m. I was only dilated to a two when we got there, but within two hours I dilated to a 5. Then one hour later I was at an 8 and quickly became a ten. We were very happily surprised! I didn't want to get sent home again. I pushed through three contractions, and he was born. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz. and was 21 inches long.





The boys absolutely love their brother. They want to hold him and see him all the time. When they came to the hospital, James was sitting by the baby and started to sing the Cougar's song to him. It was funny. They have been great big brothers.

We are so happy to have him here, and so grateful that he is healthy.
