He’s Here!

Yesterday at 9:36 am we had a boy!! He’s a healthy, chubby, cute little man! He weighs 8 pound 14 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long!! We’ve named him Leif Everett. Kaia is already in love with him and has snuggled him more that Toby has. He falls asleep in Kaia’s arms every time she holds him. We are all doing well and enjoying our family time together!

I’m doing well. The labor was only 6 hours but it was the middle of the night, so I was pretty exhausted! Toby got up with me, and Kaia joined us at ~4am. So, we all slept the day away after he was born. He’s a total cutie pie! It’s so weird having a newborn in the house again! I’d forgotten how awesome it is to snuggle up next to a tiny baby.
