HE'S HERE!!
Sweet baby James was welcomed at 9:13 tonight. Hours and hours of very painful labor for his mama...hours and hours of pacing and praying (done by yours truly)...but they finally merged and this sweet thing entered our world.
This is me calming Mr. James as I had a frank chat with him about how life isn't fair. (No one should have to get that talk at 45 minutes of age, but he was waiting on his bath and he wasn't really happy about it.)
As soon as I put my hand on his little tummy, he calmed right down. For a minute. Let's focus on that minute, shall we?
Well, my hair did look good. Twelve hours earlier. LOL. Love this picture, though. Love this little guy. I've already told him about the cats at my house and how he'll have to get used to the picture thing because it happens A LOT when Aunt Bekah is in the room.
I don't think he believed me about the pictures. He'll learn.
Striking a pose already. What a GOOD GOOD BOY.
About five minutes after birth. DID NOT like the bright lights. I told him I felt his pain every morning when the alarm went off.
Thank you, Lord, for this precious baby boy!!
And thank you for answering the "big prayer..." Thank you for sending this boy before midnight. You knew how their hearts longed for it to be this day.

I've given you an award on my blog today. Come check it out!
There is no better feeling than the safe arrival of a healthy baby. Many congratulations to Mom, and to you, Aunt Bekah!! James is totally adorable.
Stephanie - Thanks so much for the award! :) I've been enjoying learning about your life from your blog too! :)
Kate - Thank you so much for stopping by and for the congratulations! I'm excited to get to know baby James as he grows up. His older brother and sister are so much fun, and I'm sure they'll train him up well. My poor cats are really in for it now.
Awww Bekah! What a sweetie! How much have you spoiled him? (smile)
