Worth the wait

Baby brother's name: Peter John Myers
Weight: 9 lbs. 2 oz. !!! (Charlie was 7 lbs. 9 oz.)
Length: 21 1/2"
Born: 2/19/09 @ 17:21

Pete came out a little purple, but was looking great a few minutes later

Getting checked out.

Pete's face is too chubby for him to open his eyes very much. When he does it is usually just his left eye, which gives him nice Popeye charm.

"I yam what I yam!"

Charlie was super excited to meet baby brother.

He can't wait to help out and show Pete all the neat things little boys do.

Grandma gets her turn.

Everyone is doing fine and relieved to finally have him join us. We will keep posting as the adorable pictures come.

CONGRATS!! I hope you are doing good. Big baby--especially when your last one was a seven pounder. I guess that is why some docs don't let moms go overdue. :) My sister, Natalie, had her baby today as well. What a good day!

P.S. Can't wait to see him, and the rest of you, too.

I am so happy for your family. I never would have believed that you could have held a 9 pounder in that petite frame of yours. I must admit I am going to miss seeing your pregnant self at church. I always thought you looked to cute and happy! I know your are even happier now though!!!!

Shell. I was looking at that top picture and was a little worried at the wires that were hooked up to your head. My mind wandered to all types of things that could be wrong....then I noticed that it was a headphone hooked to an Ipod.
