Boy Meet World

Well, it's been a pretty great day and Evan is here... It's been pretty busy with people stopping in so I haven't had time to find a way to get online but I wanted to get a few pics up for those that are interested in meeting him.

The day started out pretty normal with Isaac getting ready for school. After we dropped him off we got ourselves ready to head up to the hospital. We got in right away and everything started to move into action. By 10:40 Heather was off for her final prep and I was in scrubs ready to go. They led me down to the OR (I felt like a charter from Grey's Anatomy) and there they were already working on Heather. She was AMAZING!!!!! By 11:07 Evan was born and Heather was going through the final stages.

We headed back to the recovery room where they helped Heather get some rest and make sure Evan was doing great. According to the surgeon - nothing could have gone better - it was perfect. He was alert, crying, and doing great baby stuff. Heather was sleeping some but otherwise doing really well.

We headed down to our room and finally Isaac arrived to meet his new brother. One fact that I know is true - a family is a family no matter how the members all arrive. I was never so happy to see my oldest son and to introduce him to my youngest son. Having 2 healthy and happy boys - nothing could have made this a better day.

We had other family members and friends arrive throughout the day. It was nice to see everyone and get a chance to share our newest addition.

Heather and I are now just resting and talking while Evan eats some, sleeps some, and cries some. Overall, a pretty good day - and it has all just begun...

Don't expect him to understand wiki for some time. He cant see up close yet ya know and his neck isnt strong enough to look at the computer for long either:-) Congratulations to all of you!!
