If my uterus weren't already occupied, I would totally have baby fever
Meet my new nephew, Danny Jr., born August 18, 2008, at 5:28 p.m., weighing eight pounds and five ounces and measuring between 20 and 21 inches long.
Isn't he beautiful? The marks on his face are from the forceps, but Danny won't suffer any permanent damage. The nurse almost did, though, after telling Samantha, "At least you didn't have a c-section." Like a third-degree laceration is anything to write home about.
Mom and baby are doing just fine. I talked to Samantha yesterday, and she said, "He's so wonderful, I can't believe we get to take him home."
Of course, Dan is smitten with his namesake. See how much they look alike, already.
There's our Brooke! Much love, friend, for sharing the photos.
I've got Friday off so my little family can meet him. It can't come fast enough.

P.S. We have a house! Visit my Parents blog for details. Pictures of the dreaded cabinets soon to follow.
Congrats on the new house!! What a great feeling!
Danny is absolutely adorable! He is just as cute as can be. I think I would have slapped that nurse who had the nerve to say something like that. I had a 3rd degree tear when I gave birth to my son and every nurse that walked into the room was smart enough to bring ice packs and to act like I'd just had MAJOR surgery. They were good people. :-)

Ahhhh, smooshworthy babies, I love them. He's gorgeous. The nerve of that nurse!
And congratulations on the house! It sounds amazing -- except, you know, for the pea green cabinets.
