9.16.11 Ezra is here!

Ezra was born on Friday, September 16, at 10:59 in the morning.  His stats were 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches.   Marc is so excited to be a daddy that he put up the previous photos as soon as he could to show off his little boy.  Here are some more photos from the hospital.

Here are some more from his first few days at home...

With Grandpa Minster...I think there is a photo exactly like this of my dad holding every one of his daughters and grandchildren.  This is just how he holds babies.

His very first bath at home, with the help of Grandma Minster...

And hanging out with Daddy...

We are so grateful for our little boy and love him so much.

9.12.11 Forty Weeks

Today is my due date.  I'm 40 weeks pregnant.  But there is no baby as of yet, which doesn't surprise me.  All along I've expected to go at least a week over since my mom was late with every single one of her six children (she was two weeks over with me).  My four older sisters were all late with their first child as well.   So this mind tactic of expecting my little boy to stay put until September 18 or so has worked rather well...up until a couple of days ago.  Things suddenly turned rather uncomfortable and now I understand why some women beg to be induced as early as possible.

So hopefully he won't be too much longer, but I'm still thinking he won't come until after the 17th even if I'm hoping for tomorrow.
