Our baby is here!

As most of you already know, our bouncing baby boy arrived at 12:31 pm, on Monday 11/26. He was 6 lbs, 7oz, and was 18.9 inches long. We just got out of the hospital on Thursday, so sorry for the delay in posting our information. I just had a feeling that it was a boy. We are so proud of our little guy. We named him Garrett and are calling him Little Gary, for short, after his dad. Garrett's middle name is Richard, after my dad, and my dad's father.

It was so worth the wait, and it was great not knowing what the gender was. The doctor let Craig tell me whether it was a boy or girl, and I was just overcome with emotion when he told me it was a boy. The doctor lifted Garrett over the curtain briefly so that I could see him, and Craig got to bring him out to show Mom, Darylis, and Sidney.

He is so precious, our little boy. Now that he is at home, he has settled in quite nicely. He is a really good baby too. He only cries when we change his diaper, or when he is hungry. I have some videos below for you to watch. If I sound like I am on drugs, I WAS!! .Posting

Hi Rose family! I have had trouble getting my comments to show up on this site before. I hope it works this time. Until today, I thought these videos were pictures, DUH. You might want to add more instructions, in between juggling a newborn and a 3 year old! She is adorable, and bounces around just like her Mom! She is a mini-me for sure. We miss you at work but we're thrilled you have your new baby boy to enjoy. Love ya, Margie
