Room With a View

This is my view right now. Yes, he's arrived. I won the labor jackpot today. He came a lot more willingly than Rex. I had a lot of contractions last night and then I went in to be induced today. I think my contractions gave me a jump start. The little guy was born at 11:46am. I had a lovely epidural and actually enjoyed the whole process. Yeah, baby!
Here's a close-up. He has light brown hair, but it looks a little red and blonde, too.
We were so blessed to have everything go smoothly. He is doing great and so am I.
Here's the proud daddy.
He has the same long feet Rex has. They are too big for the spot they have alotted on the birth certificate. It looks really funny.
Here are his big baby hands with long fingernails.
So, here are the stats:
Name: still deciding
Weight: 8lb. 5oz.
Length: 21 inches
Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. We sure feel lucky.

CHERI HE'S ADORABLE! He's looks so darling! Oh man, I'm so happy for you! Now I really want to see the little guy. Man he's just so cute and tiny! Hehe, so he came out more willingly huh? Yeah that bit made me laugh. Well Cheri all I know is that this baby will probably end up looking like you. I hope so anyway.
