Other than some initial protest, our second child burst into the world looking rather healthy and acting kind of happy. At birth, he tipped the scale at 8 pounds, 11 ounces, and stretched the measuring tape by 20.5 inches.
The Petite Filet is doing well, and I am, too. The Cutlet is bouncing-off-the-walls happy about his little brother. We'll have to find out the dog's reaction in a few days when our bundle comes home.
I will most definitely have more photos tomorrow. The above one was taken with our old, crummy digital point-and-suck, but I'll be hefting the heavy artillery tomorrow. That is, if the spare bed in the hospital room doesn't kill me.
Our hearts got bigger the moment we saw him.
Thanks to all for the lovely wishes, and have a wonderful night.

Oh happy day when a new baby comes into your life!
