introducting peter benjamin stork, born may 7 at 2:58 in the afternoon, weighing in at an enormous 9 pounds 1 ounce, and 20 1/2 inches long. i successfully VBAC'ed (vaginal birth after cesarean, even though i think the 2 of you reading this know what that is), which is why i say 9 pounds is enormous, or as one good friend put it, just rude. we mainly call him pete, although petey slips in every once in awhile, because it's unavoidable for me. also petey b., which i think is adorable. he is a very good babe, and we're all adjusting pretty normally, i think - mainly indifference from the older brothers, although they're getting more and more interested every day. here are a few pictures from the beginning of his little life...
what i loved most about the whole experience was how normal it
all was compared to how the boys were born...
yeah, i rounded up when i said 9#1. i can do that, i delivered him.
sweet pete.
kathy and alex came to visit...
going home
big brothers.
