The Birth of Thomas Robert!!!

My sweet baby boy was born one week ago today.  He is the perfect addition to our family.  He is perfectly healthy born 8lbs, 7ounces, and 20 1/2 inches.  The gender surprise was awesome!  Bert leaned over and told me "it's a boy, we have a boy!"  I can't put into words what an awesome little guy he is, he is just incredible! 
It took Ava a little bit to get over the fact the baby was not a girl and that she had a brother instead of a sister, but I knew once she saw him, and held him she would be fine, and I was right.  When Ava and Alex arrived at the hospital to meet their new brother they were so excited, Alex waved at him and decided to wait a little bit before holding him, and Ava wanted to hold him right away and not let go! 
Our family is perfect and complete.  My heart is filled with so much love, so much thankfulness, and so much joy.  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, we are so very blessed.

 A healthy baby boy!

He stopped crying when he held his Daddy's finger.

Perfect.

I was so happy the baby got to be with me in recovery.
