Jennifer and Chris laid their eyes on Nicholas for the first time this evening at 6:58 pm. Although he is nearly six weeks early, he’s still a healthy 6 lbs 1 oz, plump and pink, with nice strong lungs and a strong cry to let everyone know that he has definitely arrived.
It all happened surprisingly quickly once Jen’s water broke. We were incredibly privileged not only to spend the day with Jen & Chris, but to be allowed to stay in the delivery room with them during Nicholas’ birth. Big kudos have to go out to Dr. Atkinson, Pam the nurse, and the rest of the staff for their excellent care, humor, and kindness to everyone.
We’ll have more photos of him once we’ve had a chance to rest and shared them first with Jen & Chris. But for now, say “HELLO” to Nicholas. We’d love to see your comments here by clicking on the “Comments” link at the top of this entry.
