Brooks

We welcomed our sweet baby Brooks into the world on Monday October 24, 2011 at 11:36 pm.  His due date was November 1, and lucky for me and him I was able to put myself into labor, so that he was born 8 days early.  He weighed in at 9 lbs 11.3 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long.  It was a rough delivery, but we all survived, and Brooks is healthy, which we are so grateful for.  I will tell his story soon, but for now enjoy a few pictures that my sister Candace took of Brooks in the hospital.

He's so cute--I can barely stand it!!! And Shannon is right--I can see the Lybbert genes in him.

Chelsea,

Sorry about the rough delivery. Sucks.

Congratulations! He is beautiful and you look great! Holy smokes, I wish I looked that good after I had Claire :) Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!

Brook said...

He looks so sweet and chubby! I love the cheeks! I'm glad for you that he came when he did! Congrats and I want to have your boys over next week.

I told Michael after Preschool to give Brooks a big kiss for me and he said "No, a little kiss. A big kiss would hurt him." He understands the Big brother role with this one :)
