He's Here!


Of course, now I feel like writing up a storm, but that might take longer and result in an even later post. So, here's a quick update for any still wondering. I am working on another post with lots of pictures between feedings and naps though that might not appear for a day or two depending on how things start adjusting at home.

After almost 3 hours of labour, we welcomed our youngest - a 22¼ inch long, 9lb, 8oz little boy on Sunday November 8th at 6:18am. I woke up around 3:30 Sunday morning, and figured that we might actually be finally going into 'real' labour by 4ish. We got to the hospital at 5am, and just over an hour later we got to meet our youngest son!

And now we're at home where we'll be figuring out how things function with four kids. The adventures of life!

  4. So glad the labor went fast (when it finally kicked in for real), and that the birth was "easy"...you know I mean in relative terms here. And we're more than thrilled that you have a little boy to add to your family! Praise the Lord! Hope you're doing well and the recovery and adjustment period is swift.

  5. Congratulations you guys, girl boy girl boy.... who would have guessed? I thought that would be too perfect so you would end up having a boy. I love the name you guys chose and I am wondering what his blog nickname will be as you didn't announce one in this post! :)

    On Lord's day afternoon I had Dolly work as my detective. I told her that it was her special job to find out whether or not her new little brother has any hair, and if he does, come back and tell me about it. Well, later in the day after she got to visit her new little brother for the first time, she came running up to me and said "he DOES have hair! His hair is brown like yours!" It was so cute!

  6. Umm, excuse the typo, I meant to say "I thought that would be too perfect so you would end up having a GIRL."
