"You only just tell a boy you won't ever have anybody but him, ever ever ever, and then you kiss and that's all. Anybody can do it"
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Becky to Tom, Chapter 7)
YESSIR! That's just what we want to do is just kiss this little boy forever and ever and ever! Sawyer arrived this morning at 6:41am after a VERY brief labor of 3 1/2 hours. He is 1 day shy of 37 weeks which makes him 1 day shy of official "full term". Chelsea's labor was so fast and she transitioned so quickly that she never had the epidural. At the time she didn't think it was such a great idea, but recovery is so much quicker that by tonight she's thinking, aside from all the screaming, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. He is 6lbs. 5 oz., 17 1/2 inches long, has lots of brown hair that I think will be curly like his dad's and has the sweetest little face. He was alert and checking out his world but is now settling in on being comfy. Chelsea was amazing and I'm just so proud of her. I came home for a few minutes to send out some more emails, write this, and pick up a turkey at Trader Joe's. Because when all is said and done, how can we be more grateful than having this little baby join us today and celebrate my most favorite holiday with us on Thursday which will now include the traditional feast. Mommy and baby will be home on Wednesday. I'm going back shortly to spend the night. We are all happy and thankful and thank everyone for all their kind words and loving support over the past months.
All is well, all is well!

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your beautiful Grandson!! What a welcome relief for all of you!! So is that "guy" in the pic. above the dad?? You mentioned curly hair---and he has some! Amber's husband has really curly hair and Joshua has it too, just not quite as tight a curl as his dad's. And Austin doesn't have enough hair yet to tell if it's going to be curly. So happy for you all!! Newborn babies are my favorite! :)
P.S. Love those ORANGE fingernails, Grandma!!
Happy, happy, news!! He's such a cutie! So glad everyone is well. Let us know when you're ready for visitors. The girls and I would love to meet him!
Congratulations to you all, what a beautiful boy! Sounds like you all are doing so well. I'm in Provo enjoying Thanksgiving with the twins! Enjoy that baby!
Who is that weird man holding Sawyer? :)
