And Three Become Four

So, as Mike said we now have another baby boy. We have tentatively decided to name him Peter Evan. I'm still not sure if it fits him, but it was really the only name that Mike and I could remotely agree on. He was born on Tuesday, March 18th at 5:05 pm. 8 pounds 7 ounces, 21 inches and except for some slight jaundice, he's completely healthy. I am so happy to not be pregnant anymore! This whole experience was SO much easier on me than Charlie's birth! I actually started crying when they told me I was done because I couldn't believe it could be that easy. I now fully understand why people choose to have more children. Charlie absolutely loves him. He loves to point out that the baby has eyes . . . and ears . . . and hair . . . Peter is going to have to quickly get used to being poked and prodded. Also, in true big brother fashion, Charlie loves to point and laugh when Peter cries.

Congratulations, I was just thinking about you last night, wondering if you'd had him yet. He is absolutely beautiful. (When boys are babies, it's okay to say that!) That's so good that Charlie has taken to him so well. I love those pictures, especially the last one with you and your two boys. And WOW, you cut your hair! It looks really nice. That was a pretty brave thing to do. .. Well, congratulations again and hope your recovery goes quick!

Not that the others weren't! Now I'm just filling up your comment page. Sorta reminiscent of some phone call messages, right?

I was wondering if Peter would be easier on you than Charlie was. I still haven't erased that birth out of my memory. You and Kathy take the cake on difficult births. :) I love jaundice babies, too. Both mine had the lights and all. So much fun having a tan baby--especially when you know that is the only time in their life they'll be tan due to the stark-whiteness of their parents. Congratulations again!!

Absolutely adorable. I'm glad that the second time was much better for you. I remember what a rough time you had the first go round. Congratulations.
