Seth is born !

What a grand day........we will remember it always, May 19, 2009.

♥♥ Seth Alexzander ♥♥ was born after just 4 hours of the hardest labor my daughter has ever gone through. No wonder.........he weighed in at

10 lbs., 8 oz. ! ! ! ! !

He's 22½ inches long.

Today was actually his due date, and the doctors offered to induce labor, since my daughter was not making quick enough progress toward getting there on her own. They told her that he was probably atleast 8 lbs, so she said "Let's do it!"
Her hubby was the perfect coach, keeping her focused, breathing along with her.......it's his first time there, even though they have 3 children now.............WOW, my daughter has 3 kids !
( ♥Zoe♥ is 5 ½ and ♥T.J.♥ is 3.)
In her excitement, Kelley forgot to take the adapter cord for her computer to the hospital, so Tim is picking it up as he picks up the other two kids to bring them to see the new brother. Then we'll hopefully see our newest grandbaby via webcam. Oh how I'd love to be there to hold him, but I am so thankful for this modern technology that keeps us informed and in-touch across the world from each other.
