Sorry it has taken as long as it has to post photos of Elijah. I am "borrowing" internet from neighbors using unsecured networks, and for whatever reason, it does not work during the day. I think maybe the heat or the sun rays block it somehow. Anyway, here he is!
First time holding Elijah Bravery Hurd.
9 lbs! 23 inches long, 14.5" head, 14.5" chest.
That's Mary, our incredible, wonderful, talented, gifted, marvelous mid-wife.

That's my bicep, not a boob. :)
From the first time I held him, he is always so calm. Love it!
This is Nadia, our very committed doula. She was an angel! A gift from God to us. She was there through the entire night... except when she left to get dinner at a friends and got bitten in the face by a chihuahua. She went to the hospital, got stitches, and came back to help us.
Birth story to come shortly.
Wow, what an amazing bundle of joy! Congratulations you guys. S.J. now uses adult shampoo, but this morning at the market she asked me to buy baby shampoo in case any of her baby cousins ever stayed over! :)

ReplyDeleteHope Mark and I can come see you all very soon.

Congratulations guys, we are super excited for you
ReplyDeleteLooks like dad cloned himself again! Keegan and Robin, he's so handsome! I think he's a good mix, but since I know Keegan better, I'd say he looks more like Keegan. :)Let's see some more pics! Can't wait to meet my sweet new nephew!! I love you guys!

I think just the opposite, looks just like Robin :-) Congratulations we love you so much and are looking forward to more pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou did it Robin! I'm so glad that you were able to have the home birth that you wanted and that you and Elijah are doing great. I do see a lot of you Keegan in Elijah and Robin he has your chin. That is so neat that you and Elijah are the only ones in the whole family with Grandpa O'Toole's chin. I hope you all get some rest. Love, Gina, Scott and kiddos
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your precious gift! Can't wait to meet him and plant a big kiss on those adorable cheeks :)
