Welcome to the World, Bridger Scott Hobbs!!!

In case you haven't heard, we have a new baby boy!



Bridger Scott Hobbs was born on Saturday afternoon (Sept 15) at 1:01pm. Mom and baby are doing fantastic, and are really making it look easy! So far we have been blessed with good naps, good feedings and few problems. It has been an absolute joy these last couple of days, which is a relief as on Friday things looked much more difficult. More on that story later...

Vitals
Weight: 7lbs 15ozs
Length: 21 inches
Gestation: 36 weeks, 2 days! (Yes, he showed up almost 4 weeks early!)
APGAR: 9 & 9!

I'm off to the hospital again to prepare to bring home Mom & Baby Bridger. Brooke will return home from her Grandparents' house this afternoon as well. Luckily Gran is here to help out. Keep us in your prayers this afternoon and tonight as we transistion to home.

Oh, and don't let me forget to tell you the story about everyone trying to get to the hospital. And the one about Brooke visiting the baby! And her armband! And the birth itself (Erin should have been a sprinter on the track team!) And my cousin who had her baby the previous day! And "Brooke's baby out!" Wow - so much to tell! And more pictures too! Check back late tonight for an update - I'll do my best.
