We are in AWE

Welcome, welcome to baby Anderson William!

Marisa and Rusty are now the hap, hap, happiest parents around as Anderson was born early this morning at 1:04. Marisa went into labor on her own yesterday afternoon and after feeling the soothing effects of the epidural, tried her best to welcome him on her own. Baby AWE was having no part of that, preferring to stay cozied up inside her ginormous belly. After an hour of persuasion, it was determined that a C section was necessary. Rightly so, since he weighed in at 8 pounds, 12 ounces and 21 inches long! GEEZ LOUISE!

I hear that the color of his hair is disputable... Marisa says that in the right light it might take on the reddish tone of his daddy's.

In regards to the bets, it looks like I was closest as far as weight and length (I guessed 8 lbs. 10 oz. and 20.5 inches). Pen, however, was the closest as far as the delivery date (she guessed Sunday). Unfortunately, we were the two who placed the most cruel bets! No Vegas for us, though, I don't want to earn money off of that kind of pain!

ISN'T HE SO CUTE?!






I am such a proud Aunt and I absolutely can not wait to hit that Georgia soil and get my hands on him! Less than one week, y'all!

Congratulations!! He's adorable. . .I thought I guessed 21 inches? I'll have to go review.

Congrats to the happy family! And yes, who won the crying estimate?

He's so cuuuuuute! Poor Marisa- having to labor for hours and then get cut anyway. Well, at least the baby is healthy and happy. And for the record, after looking at Marisa's blog, I think it is terribly UNFAIR that she has no stretch marks whatsoever.
