Introducing Maxwell Toolson Pingel






Maxwell Toolson Pingel was born Sunday April 5, 2009 at 8:54 a.m. pacific time. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. He has a lot of dark brown hair. Baby and mother are healthy and doing well. We really couldn't have asked for better timing. Lindsey and Easton went for a walk on Saturday at about 4:15 p.m. and came back in time for Scott to go to Priesthood session of conference. When Scott got home from conference, Lindsey's contractions were only 2 minutes apart, so we got ready to go to the hospital. We were a little nervous about it because Luke had been up the whole previous night throwing up with a fever, but after the bishop came over to assist Scott in a blessing, he was on the mend. One of Lindsey's Laurel's came over to stay with the boys at about 8:30 p.m. and Scott and Lindsey headed to hospital. When they checked Lindsey at the hospital she was dilated 5cm, so they were officially keeping her there to have the baby. They let her progress on her own because they wanted her to break her own water. By about 7 am on Sunday morning they decided that her water was not going to break on its own, and the doctor finally decided he would come and break it. He broke her water at about 8:10 am, and Max was born at 8:54 am. The boys got to meet Baby Max this afternoon and seemed pretty intrigued by him. Luke kept saying "Whasup Baby Max, whasup." Enjoy the pictures!!
