Robert Anthony is finally here!

Here's our baby boy! Bobby was born at 2:37 am on July 1st. He was 8 pounds 6 ounces and 21.5 inches long. I checked in at about 3 pm in labor and after about 11 hours of, well, labor he came into the world after 11 minutes of pushing.

His big forehead bruise is pretty aparent in this picture. Imagine my surprise when 2 nurses hopped up onto the bed to help push him out cause his shoulder was stuck. Poor baby!

I love this picture! Bobby is sharing my sisters lap with my nephew! I can't wait to meet him! Only 10 more weeks!!!

Pretty lady, pretty baby.

My niece loves babies so much! I think she wanted to run away with him. Such a cute kiddo!

I just can't believe how much moms and babies have to go through to bring life into the world. Glad his bruises are getting better.

I have this same picture with my mom and all three of my kids. Robert is her first grandson and eigth grandchild.
I honestly don't know what I would have done without her and Beth's help.

We absolutely love our little guy. I had a totally terrible pregnancy and I am so happy with the outcome. He is a mellow baby with a sweet little cry. I call him Bobby Dale cause he looks so much like my grandpa. In the moments he doesn't look like my grandpa he looks just like my brother. He does have a cute little chin dimple and several cute dimples around the sides of his mouth and chin. Those are all daddy. He also has his dad's long slender fingers. It's really too early to tell what he will look like as babies change so much, but we think he is perfect.

I keep having moments of absolute euphoria come over me. I felt so terrible physically for so many months that it is just refreshing to be able to walk around without feeling horrible pain. I am also happy knowing that we are all here and accounted for, no more pregnancies for me.
