Welcome To The World Ezra!

Alright, it has been a whole 5 days since the birth of our beautiful son and you all been waiting for me to post some pictures already! Thanks for being patient, as posting pictures takes a while...well, with the nursing, and the diapering, and the napping (me too, thanks to my Mom), the swaddling, the snuggling, the kissing...

We have waited a long time for the arrival of our sweet boy and have kept his name in the vault for not only the duration of my pregnancy, but for more than five years. We chose it when we chose Phoebe's name, and we held onto it dearly in our hearts, believing God had a plan for a son in our future. So it is with great joy that we welcome EZRA JAMES HER. Enjoy the pics!

Grammy arrives from the airport to help out and welcome baby brother. Phoebe and her are so excited to see each other for the first time in over a year.

The three of us before my surgery, waiting for the big moment of baby's arrival. Although we had hoped for a natural birth, like his big sister, Ezra was taking his time coming out and we just could not wait any longer to meet our little man.

Daddy poses with Phoebe all set in his gear...btw, he asked to take it all home with him for doctor play at home with Phoebe. She was so thrilled!


Just minutes after Xee cut the cord-Ezra was born on January 26, at 9:35 p.m., weighed 7lbs, .6oz and measured 20 1/2 inches long.

I finally meet him face to face. What a joy!

Phoebe and Grammy meet him.

Love at first sight!

Proud Big Sister enjoys holding her baby brother.


Sister smooches :)

It's late and my two babies are both nested up with me in bed, fast asleep.

Snuggly-Buggly

Since our Honu was with Phoebe during our hospital stay, we thought he might want to keep Ezra company as well.

Happy Daddy!


Ezra says, "Um, excuse me...this is a private moment."

Ready to leave the hospital, Ezra is dressed in the same outfit Phoebe came home in.

Buckled in and set for his first car ride.

All cozy with Grammy.

Oh how precious new life is. We are so thrilled that Ezra is with us and are so blessed to welcome another happy, healthy child into our family. Mommy and baby are resting as much as we can, but we love visitors, so please make an appointment to see us soon! More pictures to come.
