Our New Arrival

Hello All, So everybody knows by now but I'm blogging for posterity's sake! Announcing our new arrival:
Grant Harrison Doolittle
Born: 2/18/2009 at 1:51 am
Weight: 8 lbs 14 oz
Length: 20.5 in
Both mom and baby did great. The home birth went very well and our midwife Holly was fantastic! Thankyou Holly! You will forever be a part of our family! We had Lillie at the birth (she was very well prepared) and she did great. She thought the whole thing was fantastic and talked of nothing else for a few days afterwards. Samuel thankfully slept through the whole thing. Phew! Everything went according to plan. So, to make up for lack of blogging here are pictures from the very begginning right up until yesterday.

Here is Grants first bath. He doesn't seem too happy about it does he.

The brothers first meeting

Here is Grant with his "second mommy". Lillie loves Grant and can't get enough cuddle time.













Catching up on some zzz's







I think this is one of the only pictures that I have with Grant. I need to get Tim to take some more!
Our babies get jaundice. It's just what happens. Grant has had a very mild case though compared to the other kiddos. Here he after getting some sun. It always puts him into a nice deep sleep!















































Oh my goodness, isn't this the most adorable boy!!!
