Well, we are officially a family of four now! Drew Douglas arrived Dec 26 at 11:25 p.m. He weighed in at 6 lbs 6 1/2 oz. and was 20 1/4 in long. He was 3 weeks early and had a few breathing problems in the beginning (mild sleep apnea) but has finally figured out that he has to breath on his own now. The pediatrician who checked him today said he looked great! Our regular pediatrician is coming in tomorrow to check him and make sure he looks okay. This first picture was taken on Christmas morning. Our last family picture with Drew still in the belly. (and boy what a belly!!)
This was my favorite picture of him with his eyes open.
You can see how much hair he has. I can't really tell you what color it is. It's lots of colors... brown, blond, and maybe a little red.
This was just after I delivered him and the nurse had cleaned him up a little. I, on the other hand, had not yet been cleaned up as you can see. I'd show you his first pictures, but they are a little graphic and I don't want to gross anybody out :)
This is him at home getting a little time in the sun. He was a little yellow (close to jaundice) so they recommended some "sunbathing" in a window. Isn't he a cutie!!!
Here he is snuggling with his mama before we got to come home.
A little TLC from his daddy.
His big sister finally got to meet him. She really didn't think he was more than a baby doll. She was pointing out his eyes, nose and paci.
I just thought this was cute of her.
She was feeding mama ice chips. Where was she when I was in labor?! :)
This is our first family picture with all four of us.
I love the look on her face in this one. It's like she's thinking "what is that thing and why does he get a paci?"
She was hinting that if the baby had a paci, maybe she needed one too.
This was right before we were coming home. Doesn't he look handsome?
Just before we finally got to come home! Three nights in a hospital makes anyone thrilled to come home.
I don't know if she just likes his hair, but all she wanted to do tonight was rub his little head.
Sweet baby grins!
This must be his discouraged look... he knew his wild big sister was coming to rub his head some more :)

Congratulations you four!! He is absolutely beautiful, Amy. Hurray for a safe birth and a gorgeous little boy. I love the red hair :) Everytime I see pictures of your little girl I think of us being 5 years old and romping around Covenant Pres together :)
Much love,
Amy
We're so glad little Drew is here all safe and sound. The pictures are very cute. There's just nothing like a little baby - enjoy!
