Samuel Michael Baird Arrives

I'm including a few pictures from the hospital-- I have many of course to choose from. I will try to update you with more once we settle in to home. Samuel has to be hooked up to a bili blanket for awhile and we will have frequent clinic visits this week to check his levels. Thanks for your prayers-- Things went very smoothly and we are all doing well



The scale is a bit blurred but it shows 9lbs 14.6oz (they round up to 15!)
What a big boy! He was a week early. Mommy actually had a better labor than with Amelia and only pushed for 30minutes. Epidurals are wonderful!


Early picture of us holding Samuel- I don't feel as stoned as I look-- daytime deliveries are wonderful!

Amelia's first look at her baby brother. We're still not sure she understands the whole concept but she loves to give him hugs and touch his nose.

Our family


Amelia comes up to visit her brother again. He is pretty sleepy most of the time, but nurses well and is doing everything babies are supposed to do.
