Colin John is here

I will not get into the long birth story now - but my water broke at 2 am on January 18th and Colin John was born at 4:35 pm on January 18, 2012

He is perfect in every way - and thank goodness he is healthy.

He was 8 pounds, 6 oz. and 20 inches long.

I will post a birth story later when things calm down a bit - but I have to say is the labor was easy - the recovery not so much.

Here are some pictures of my little man:

Oh, what a lovely surprise to come to your blog and find out you have your precious, healthy son! Congratulations to you! You will do just fine as his momma - follow your instincts, smile a lot and take advice when it feels right and graciously ignore it when it does not! Congratulations! Oh! Did I say how handsome he is?? He is perfect. God bless your family!

COngrats again!!! I am so happy for you. Colin is so freakin cute. It sounds horrible but I think some babies look like aliens when first born (Teresa did, Grace didn't) and Colin definitely does not look like that. He is so cute, he has the cutest baby nose and I love his light hair. I hope you guys are doing well and enjoying life as a mommy!!

Stacey said...

Congrats! He is very handsome :) Glad things went well. Look forward to the birth story.
