Alexander James is finally here!

Well, our boy is finally here! He arrived on monday, November 5, 2007 at 11:42am! He weighed 8lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long! I had had the feeling for a couple of weeks that he was going to be early, but he had different plans. But when he decided to come he didn't wait long! I got to the hospital an hour before I had him! And what a beautiful boy he is!

We were surprised to actually get a picture of him with his eyes open!

Such sweet repose!

Is that a picture of a proud grandma or what?

And there's the proud big sister! She was so gentle with him right from the start. She loves to kiss him and rub his head and tell me how cute her baby brother is!

As you can see from this picture my hair was still wet from my shower that morning!

Here's another proud sister picture. She looks so serious! I guess she takes her job very seriously. She didn't waste any time asking me to hold him. She came in and climbed right up onto the bed with us! That's my girl!
