Our (real) new baby
August 20, 2008 
After a whopping 39 hours of labor, we have a boy, born on August 19th, at 1:00 in the afternoon, weighing 9 lbs 4oz. I'm tired and happy. So, so happy to be done with that labor. Oh gosh.
He looks a lot like Leafy did, with YaYa's color of complexion. He fits right into our family perfectly.
We are in love.
I promise to tell you more about the labor, but right now I have to nurse a wee one. Any ideas for a good internet nickname?
