If you’re just checking in today, see the post below for the big announcement!
I just got back from the hospital! Emily is doing great and was waaay too alert and with it for someone who’d just popped out a kid less than two hours earlier! Samuel is just beautiful as you will soon see for yourself. And according to Emily he was already “nursing like a champ”! Andy was glowing with pride and big sister Kate was trying to figure out what to make of all of it! Here are some pics! My battery died so this is all I got, but am going back tomorrow so expect a barrage of photos in the days to come!
Without further adieu, I give you Samuel Edward (whom Emily’s dad is already calling “Sluggin’ Sam” – he’s a baseball nut!):
Kate checks out her new little bro:
Mommy gives him a little tickle…
Kate holds him for the first time! He thinks it’s rather exhausting!
I would like to note that the weather here has been terrible, dark, and rainy for quite a few days, and today, it is gorgeous and sunny! I think we have Sam to think for that. Thanks little guy! We sure are glad to have you around!
What an absolute cutie! I’m so relieved he turned! Facing a potential c-section cannot be fun. Welcome, Samuel!
Beautiful! Emily, you and your dh make GORGEOUS children!
I hope we get to hear a blow by blow of not only the labor and delivery, but also pre-labor and what Emily did to turn that baby around!
He is beautiful!!! COngratulations!!!
Oh he’s beautiful! There’s nothing like a new baby to bring out the sun… 🙂
Congratulations!
He is very handsome. Lots of hair and he even has a part! And Kate looks like she has the big sister thing down like a pro… I am sure we will see if that holds out in the days to come.
The whole thing almost makes we want another one.
I said ALMOST!
We have a dog instead.
oh my goodness, he is gorgeous. Happy day!!
