Kim felt great the whole time..... especially after her epidural.
Tate is a big boy. He had meconium in his water, so there were lots of people in the delivery room when he was born to help clean him up and suction him out before he could aspirate his poop. Of the eight or so hospital staff in the room at the time, at least four of them had said something along the lines of "holy $#!& that's a big kid!" between the time he came out and when they got him across the room to the heat lamp.
After making sure mom was ok, Glenn got to hold Tate's hand and carry him over to see his mommy.
An hour and a half of pushing really did a number on his head. This picture was taken today, two full days in the hospital after his birth. He has had some time to get back his geometry. I think he has my nose. Other than that we are still trying to place his features.
We are both exhausted, and deeply in love with our baby boy.
Nanna Debi is here to help out for a few days. We are so thankful to have someone to take him for a while so we can get some rest! He obviously loves his nanna!
He just loves the outfit we brought him home in! After he was done crying, we didn't hear a peep from him for four hours until we woke him up to eat his first home-cooked meal in our new glider chair.
I'm sure there will be many more pictures and videos of Tate posted on this blog in the days to come. We are both so in love with our little man. Thank you to everyone who has been encouraging to Kim and I during her pregnancy. We are in awe of our little miracle.

Hooray! I can hardly wait for pictures. I've been checking a gigillion times a day. If the little dude has a cone head than just put a hat on him. We won't know.
He is soooo cute. You guys did good. He is bigger than Jack is now, and Jack's already 4 weeks old. I guess 2 days late isn't that bad. Congratulations. I can't wait to see more pics of him.
He is SO cute. Can't wait to meet him!

Congrats! I'm excited for pictures!
Glenn you're a dad!!! That's INSANE! Congratulations you guys, he's beautiful. PS, my cousin just had her baby. 10 lbs, 15 ounces! That's something I'm glad our little Kim did NOT have to deal with that. Love you guys!
I found your blog from Janelle's and I just have to say your little boy is adorable! He's almost as big as Nathan was, but I still think he looks TINY! I thought Nathan was tiny too though...shows what I know! Congrats you two! He's adorable! Enjoy this first little while. Being a parent is amazing!
