He's Here!!!

Ok, it has taken me awhile to get to this. I view it as having my priorities right... playing with my handsome new guy is much more fun than posting pictures for others to look at!

Chase Lee- my little Ace- was born a week ago. We were anxious to have him here and he had been giving me indicators for over two weeks that he was going to be arriving soon. Once things got going, they went pretty fast and we now have a beautiful and healthy boy. Little Ace was our heaviest at 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 in long.

He takes after most everyone in his family. Chase can eat! And wehn he wants and is looking for food he is a pretty strong little fellow. When he gets what he wants he goes absolutely limp curled up on whoever is holding him.

The kids all love him, although they have had very different reactions to him.

Brynli loves him and is curious and helpful in a more hands-off way. She has a really hard time if Chase is crying.

Ari didn't want to visit us in the hospital (she was to busy having fun with Grandma Jo and Tyler), butshe was the last one to want to leave, she was so busy touching and petting her new baby brother.

Chance is full of questions about whey the baby wants to drink so much, why he is always asleep and why I keep covering the baby with a blanket. The other morning when Ace was crying, Chance told me: "We have a hard baby!"

This little guy isn't hard at all. He does have some fussy moments, but for the past two nights he has eaten at 2 and 6 am. A week old and I only have to wake up for one early morning feeding- I'm not complaining.

Thanks to Mom and Tyler for all their help. You guys made the first week of transitioning from 3 to 4 kids a lot easier- and we ate well!

Here are some of the pictures, we didn't get as many pictures in the hospital- Nick was distracted.
