Here he is!! Chase made his debut on March 9, 2008 at 12:52 am. He weighs 7lbs 8 oz and is 19 in. long. Labor and delivery were very fast! I started contracting at about 8:30, water broke around 10:15, and got to the hospital at 11:06. We weren't even there for two hours and then all it took was maybe 6 pushes. Child birth is such a strange and amazing experience, words cannot begin to describe it!
Brody was able to come into the room with Jared and I right after I delivered so it was just the four of us for a while. He came in and got teary eyed looking at Chase and then asked, first thing, if he could give him hugs and kisses. Brody is seriously such a sweet boy! Whenever he sees him for the first time in the morning or waking up from a nap, he cannot wait to touch him, hold him, and kiss him. When Chase cries, Brody runs over and says, "I will make him feel better" and then kisses him! I have the best family!


Chase sleeps non-stop (for now, I'm sure). I think I've only seen him awake for maybe 6 hours since he's been born! He is very mellow and puts up with Brody's noise very well! We are so blessed to have two beautiful, healthy boys! I will post more when I have some more time!!
