After 20 hours of labour Charlie has joined our family.  He came into this world peeing up a storm before settling on Mommy’s belly.

Mommy was amazing through the whole labour and Charlie was born, without drugs, after just 15 minutes of pushing!  Baby, Mommy, and Daddy were tired, but healthy, happy, and ready for their lives together.

Charlie is named after Chris’ grandfather (Charles), and Stef’s father (George).  Our first day was quiet and mellow with very few tears.  Charlie slept in the basinet beside our bed with an very excited Mom and Pop watching him throughout the night.

Molly (our dog) was very excited to meet her little brother and has been sniffing and kissing him every chance she can get.  She’s looking forward to when he is big enough to run and wrestle with her.
