New Addition

Well the big day has finally come and gone. Our new little one was born Monday the 20th. I went in that morning for a c section and a few hours later we welcomed Rafe. Everything went really well, he weighed in at 7 lbs. 11 oz and 20.5 in. Here is a before pic before they started hooking me up to everything and poking me with all sorts of needles. Big brother Bekam meeting his new little brother. He was so excited. My three boys! So tired from all that awesome medication. Here is the little angel, he has tons of thick dark hair. Trying to stay entertained in the hospital. Heading home. Bekam was so excited to have Rafe and I finally home, three days in the hospital got to be a little much for him. Big hugs... and kisses. So glad to be in our own home!

He is so cute Kari. Seriously, love all of the hair. Plus no fair that you gained no weight besides in your belly. It looks like you tucked a ball underneath your shirt. :) Sorry about not making it to see you in the hospital. I was starting to get sick and I didn't want to pass anything to your little one. I will give you a call soon and we'll chat. Glad everything went well.

oh Kari...HE IS PERFECT! so so so cute! But thats expected coming from you two. :) I love him and I wish you lived here so I could hold and cuddle him. I am so happy for you guys. I hope everything is going well and you're getting some sleep. Those first weeks are so rough. I also hope you're recovering well from your c-section. We'll have to chat sometime about your decision to go that route. We miss you guys so much!
