Baby Aiden is Here!

Our baby is here! Aiden Samuel came into the world on Monday at 6:58 am. After an intense night for all involved, he arrived safely. He and I are doing great, especially now 24 hours later.

He weighs 8lbs 10oz and is 20.5 in long. He was my biggest baby by one pound, and I have to say, that one pound makes a huge difference! As promised from the pictures on the ultrasound, he was born with a head of hair and its very dark.





We are all madly in love and it feels so incredibly natural to have him in our family. The girls are just super excited to have him home. Avery's new agenda in life is to have as much contact with her baby brother as possible, preferably holding him by herself. Amanda loves him and likes to check in, but so far life has gone on for her. There are still heels to clomp around in and paint to paint pictures with.

Nearly all of our large family came to the hospital to get a peek, including two of Aiden's cousins. Is this one of the most darling pictures?? This is Levi, Rocco and Aiden, ages 2 months, 6 weeks and 1/2 day. We're just missing cousin Trey who is 4.5 months. I have a feeling we'll have some pretty funny pictures of these guys in the coming years.

Thank you all for your prayers and love. God has been gracious to us..we are so blessed and so thankful.

  5. Oh my heavens! Sweet boy with so much hair! Hopefully that extra pound will mean he'll sleep through the night earlier? :) Our first was an 8 pounder, but it didn't matter to her.

  13. Sooooo happy for you! What a precious little guy! My boys were 8 lbs., 1 oz and 8 lbs, 9 oz, so I know how tough that can be. But God is good and your little man is here!

    Thanks for checking in on me last week, I'm doing well. Our baby is too! We were out of town for a few weeks & then last weekend I got to go see Beth Moore at a LPL event! So we are all happy and blessed, as your family is too!

    Congrats!
