He's Here!

7lb 4 oz 20 inches


We are doing great! It was by far my hardest delivery (I thought it was supposed to get easier?) but not the worst. I'm still very glad it's over!
We are home and doing good--just a little tired. He is such a sweet baby and we haven't heard him really cry yet...he just whimpers every now and then. I'm not ignorant, though--I know that could and probably will change any day. But for now we're enjoying this quiet little baby! We all feel so blessed and can't imagine our life without him--funny how it seems he has always been a part of our family.

Poor little guy came through the birth canal so fast that his little face was swollen and a bit bruised...

Me and my wonderful midwife Rosie, checking out the result of our hard work.
This is the first picture of the kids seeing him...they haven't stopped smiling yet!









That's all for now! I'm sure we'll have lots to post soon!
