Julia's new baby

August 11, 2010 4:29 a.m. Just about three hours ago, Sean called and said that it was about time for the baby to be born, so we got up, quickly changed and headed out to the hospital, hoping that we would make it in time. We got there and Julia seemed to be getting a little uncomfortable, hoping the doctor would get there soon. So, the nurses prepared the room, and we talked and got ready for the delivery. I am always honored when the girls have asked us to be at the hospital with them for the delivery. Grandpa sat closely by with camera in hand, just patiently waiting for things to happen. He is always very patient that way So here I am, holding that little bundle of joy!! Our 19th grandchild, our 13th little grandson. How blessed can one family be??

I got to stand by and look at this little tyke I was holding his hand and comforting him as he was prodded, footprints taken, temperature taken, and all the first minute birth things done. I talked to him and then all of a sudden, a little stream of water was emitted from this little fellow (with a smile on his face, by the way) to let us know just what he thought of all of this!!


Weigh in time!! We were pleasantly surprised!! 7 pounds 4 ounces and 19-1/2 inches long

He behaved very well, thank you!!

Julia and baby, see the wink he gives for the camera!!


It is almost too much to comprehend that a couple of pushes brought this little boy into the world!!

One happy little family--one very tired mommy!!


Oh, the first pictures!!

Hey, if I already put this one on, so what, isn't he a cutie!!


Looks like Sean?? Only time will tell!!

That first bonding moment!


Dad and Grandpa discuss the world issues and new cars!!


Here are the doctor and nurse that made all this run smoothly for our little family!! Dr. Heller and Nurse Wendy


What a way to end our pictures, with Sean and Julia and our new little grandson!!
