Here He Is

Well, at 2:55 am this morning, Beth did an amazing job delivering Keller. He weighed in at 6lbs. 7oz. and is doing great. We've moved up to the "living" area of the hospital now and will be here til tomorrow.


It was a total out of  body experience. A lot like our wedding. Only more screaming and blood... less tuxedos. Carmen was awesome and we owe her greatly.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this post up here, but it's been a cyclone ever since the birth. I've got some pictures here for now, but will post many more in our Picasa gallery later today. Somebody new is coming in our room every 5 minutes to do something, or ask something, or take something, or someone. We've only slept about 30 minutes or so and are trying to get Keller to feed successfully.

Alright, here's some pics....

Oh! What a cutie! So sorry to hear you haven't been able to sleep more than 30 minutes, but thanks so much for keeping us far away folks posted. We'll start praying for some good sleeping and eating for all. :)

Justin and Beth, although you both don't know us, we've been rooting for you and baby Keller this entire process. We are good friends and close neighbors of Brandon and Rachel. It's so wonderful to hear that the labor went well and he's here and healthy. Our prayers have been with you both. He is beautiful. Congratulations!
