A Bundle of Joy

Our adventure stared Sunday morning at 7:30 AM. Holly was in labor for a total of six hours. Here she is still looking good at 3 hours into it.


Our new arrival came at 4:01 PM weighing in at 8 lbs 8 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is a heavy weight for sure.

A little one on one time with Mommy and Trae


Fresh after a nice bath and combed hair.


I think I'm turning Japanese


He makes a good Jedi Knight.


Our lil dude gave us a scare as he had some fluid in his lungs. He spent two days in the NICU. That is why he has a bunch of wires on him. And like all babies he cries a lot.

In the end we were so excited to come home. Baby is doing great and Mommy is recovering well. As for now team Daddy thinks that he looks like us. Mommy thinks the he is a little more on her team. Maybe it's the cheeks. See the old lady in the back, yeah we don't know her, but she wanted to come home with us.
Welcome home lil guy.

We are very thankful for all the support from family and friends. A special shout out for Trae's grandparents that have done so much already and to the great care at McKay Dee. They were awesome.

Mommy tested. Daddy approved.
