Welcome Dewey!!!

Dewey was born June 2nd, 2009, at 2:33 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz and was 20 inches long. He is the sweetest little baby ever!! Here are some pictures from his birthday:




This is me, waiting for the epidural and the Pit. We were so nervous at this point, who knows what kind of drama will ensue when one of our children is born.





Dewey is actually his nickname. He was born on his Great-great-grandpa's 105th birthday. Grandpa's name was Clarence Dewey. We wanted to name him after Grandpa, but there's just not much you can do with a name like Clarence Dewey. Most of the time we call him Dewey anyway, though.


Mommy and Daddy are so glad Dewey is here and healthy. He is such a blessing to us. He has healed things in us that, even though we knew they were broken, we didn't realize how broken they truly were. He is a miracle. We know his big sisters were taking good care of him and didn't want to let him go, but we are glad that they did. We look forward to the time we call ALL be a family again together.

Wee One and Bo love Dewey so much. They would hold him all day long if I (and Dewey) would let them. Dewey loves them too. Anytime he is getting fussy and one of the kids starts talking to him, he stops crying and just stares at them. It is very cute to watch.

We will be blessing Dewey in August. We were aiming for July, but his tuxedo is still too big, so we'll wait. I'll give more info on that later.

He is so sweet! It almost makes me want another one...but then I think about being pregnant and that pretty much takes care of that! :) Anyway, glad that he's here and doing well!

p.s. LOVE the name!

Yahoo! I'm so excited to see those pics! I've been waiting and he looks adorable! And you are so right - these babies of ours heal things in a way nothing else could! He will be blessed with his sister guardian angels! I'm so happy for you!

Ohhhh, Dewey, you are soooo adorable. So happy for you and excited that little angel is here. I just marvel at how little babies are like the balm of gilead. They are like water after years of drought.
