It’s (finally!) a boy!

After 13.5 hours of labor, Laura delivered a healthy baby boy at 7:36 pm. The baby weighed in at 9 lbs, 1 oz and measured 22 inches long. We don’t have a name yet, or pictures, but Mom and baby are doing great (no tearing!), the kiddo scored well on his APGARs, and things are going well.

Now, I believe I am going to be sent off for some real food, as Mom really wants something to eat 🙂

Good night, everyone! We’ll post more in the morning!

    Congratulations from our house! In honor of your conflicted and convoluted naming process, I have compiled a list of my personal top 10 – or so…. Archie, Reggie, Jughead (How did that get in here?), Britt, Kit, Tony, Bruce, Logan, Matt, and Jay. Good luck- BTW, I didn’t say it was a ‘Good’ list : )

    Congratulations to you all! I cant wait to see photos of the newest family member. You must be thankful that he is healthy and yes quite big too. My daughter was 9lb 2 and very long and I felt like a new woman afterwards, with all that extra weight off my ligaments. Take care and rest!
