Introducing...

We are excited to introduce the newest member of our family, a third little boy!  
 This little guy took his time making an appearance--since both his brothers were born before their due dates, we were expecting something similar for #3. Instead, he arrived a couple days after his due date. Happily for me, there wasn't much dawdling through the labor process. I woke up at 1:30 am having pretty regular contractions, we arrived at the hospital a little after 3 am, the doctor broke my water at 6:30 am, and he appeared at 7:21 am after only a few pushes. Since he did come so quickly (like Jojo), he sported a bruised face for the first day or two (especially noticeable in the photo below). Love the little crocheted hats the hospital gives to babies!
