It's a ..........

Boy!!!!


Name: Daniel
Born: 8/5/09 @ 10:00 PM
Height: 20 inches
Weight: 8 lbs 5.5 oz

Rachel sent me a text message at 2:10 PM asking me to come home. She didn't say if she thought she was in labor or not, and I was just starting my weekly staff meeting, so I finished as quick as I could and got home by about 3:00 PM. Rachel felt the first contractions about 4:30 PM. We stayed at home until about quarter to 7:00 and were checked into the hospital at 7:15 PM. Rachel did great!! About 9:30 PM she started pushing, and at 10:00 PM we had our handsome baby boy. Things went much faster this time (5.5 hours compared to 15 hours).

It was pretty intense. Everything happened so fast neither of us really had a chance to take any sort of break between contractions.

Well, enough of the boring stuff that you don't really want to hear about. Onto the pictures:




















Hannah seems to be adjusting pretty good. She definitely loves the little guy. She wants to hold him all the time, and when we're in the car she is always trying to get his paci or whatever she thinks he might need. She is a very good little helper......most of the time.
