At Home With the New Brother

Meet David Vincent
Born at 2:30 am on June 10, 2011
8 lbs 15 0z
20 3/4 inches

He's perfect.


We're home.
With the newest brother, baby Davy.
We love him so, so, so very much already.
I know I should go lay down but I couldn't help looking at the 100s of pictures of his birth and first days with us and then posting just a few.
And I know I'll be back real soon to tell you all about it because there are some great stories.
(like when I was hosing barf off the back patio, in labor and in total denial that it was all going to happen really soon)
And also because I don't want to forget a moment of the past 3 days that have been utter bliss.
I feel like Mary and want to store up all these things in my heart.
There is nothing in the world quite as wonderful as a newborn baby.
But right now, I think I'll take a nap with my tiny (I finally got an 8 pounder!) baby boy.
Don't you just love his hair?




And thank you for all the well wishes, prayers and support.  
It all went so great.
Love from,
Greta

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your joy with us. I don't think I've ever so anticipated the birth of someone not related to me! I hope I get to meet little David soon.
