Finally!

Abram Derrick made his debut on Friday afternoon weighing 9 lbs. 4 oz. and was 21 inches long. I never thought I would have a baby that big!

It was a rough labor and the most emotional day of any of my three babies. I was very grateful to finally hear that first cry and to know he was here, safe and sound. What a miracle he was!

I am set for a long recovery period, which is fine in knowing that he is OUT and seems to be a very laid back baby.

Isn't he a cutie;)

You poor thing! What a big baby! But he is adorable so you can't complain! Hope your recovery goes quickly. Congrats!!

Congrats you guys. He is beautiful. He is a big baby, but I like those babies big, and you will too. I will be praying for you and the family. If you need anything let me know.

Amy said...

He is too cute! Congratulations. I think big babies are the way to go. More to love. My oldest was 9-7, but he did have to "come out the sunroof" aka c-section. Praying for your quick recovery and everyone's adjustment to the new addition.

On Amy's blog he looked like Cooper but here he looks like Wyatt. Maybe just the right mixture of both! Glad he's here and healthy. BTW, he beat Jeff's weight by 1 oz. <:o
Congratulations!

He is a cutie! I loved holding him even if I didn't have the right touch! What a beautiful family you guys have. Take it easy and let us spoil you while you recover. Many blessings to you all.

wish I could get my hands on him! How sweet. I WILL call you soon to check in, "in person". You are awesome for having to wait so long, but we are happy for the family that he is healthy!! Take care and sleep as much as you can! HA (MISS YOU!)

Hello Mini-Brian! Welcome to the world! You caused your mommy a lot of problems, you know that? So to make up for it, you have to be an extra good baby. You must sleep through the night by the time you are 2 weeks old and only have dirty diapers when your daddy is around to change them. No crying, unless something is terribly wrong and eat really well for your mommy.

Congratulations Jenny! I can't wait to get back so I can see him! I'll call you next week!

Jessica said...

So glad he's finally here! Love that hat...

I hope you have a quicker-than-expected recovery!
