Here's a couple pics folks!

Welp, four days and all's well. Holden is in good shape and sleeping well, although his most active times are early morning, directly coinciding with our (desired) inactive time. You experienced parents out there probably find no surprise in this. But all in all, he's great. Just one minute with him in our arms and the night's lack of sleep seems like someone else's story. Erin's skills as a mother are very impressive, and every day she makes us more proud. And we want to thank all of the family members and friends that help us and support us, both physically and emotionally. We truly appreciate you and thank you for making it easier to enjoy our new love. We will post more pics as they happen.

ITS A BOY!!!

Here are a few pictures at the hospital... We are waiting on copies from other cameras and will add them soon!

Update

Well, so much for going back to work. Erin had a Dr. Appt.. for Wed. the 10th but went in early due to uncomfortable swelling in her legs and feet... Working went quickly out the window when her blood pressure came back almost 20 points higher than normal. Blood tests came back alright, she is pretty low on iron so supplements will have to be added to the prenatal. Other than the supplements Erin will have non stress tests done twice a week in addition to her weekly visits with her nurse midwife. The non stress tests are pretty easy, check the amniotic fluid around the baby and monitor the heart rate increases and decreases in baby as well as movements. This baby is quite the mover so the normally 20 minute test took much longer as the monitor kept losing the heart rate! Baby passed the test with no worries tho.
On a happier note, we had our second baby shower on Sunday the 7th. Thank you again Amy and Jacie! It was beautiful, the food was wonderful and the most important thing, the guests/hostess's, thank you all for making this shower great for Erin.
