Arrival!

Eston Thomas McDow was born at 5:28 p.m., on Nov. 19, 2008. He weighed 9 lbs., 10 ozs., and is 23" long. After 15 1/2 hours of labor and more drama than we would have preferred, Eston arrived, making it all worthwhile. Beautiful baby and mama are adjusting fine.

CHE BELLO !!!
From the other side of the ocean...we are all excited and can't wait to hug him!
I had to calculate the conversion three times...I could NOT believe he is 58 centimeters??!! and more than 4 kilos...a BULL ?! How did Lauren spit this thing out??!!
well...I knew it was going to be a boy...but I am finally assured about what color sandals to buy for him!!
GOOD LUCK on these very first days...rest, rest!!

There is NO DOUBT you will be excellent (and well prepared) parents :-) Randy, the crib looks fantastic and Lauren, I'm so impressed by your ready made casseroles. Enjoy having your little one at home.
