Introducing Andrew James

I went to the hospital on Dec 28 for an elective induction. I was tired of being pregnant and so my OB was nice enough to schedule it! I was almost 40 weeks pregnant with Drew.

Leaving for the hospital. Quite a contrast to rushing off to the hospital when my water broke at 35 weeks with Evan.

After a 6 hour labor welcome baby Andrew James! He was 7lb 15oz, 20.5 inches long born at 11:09pm.

Mom and baby.

He looks quite like Evan, but slightly different of course. He has quite a bit of bruising on his face which is the purple-ish cast on his cheeks, etc. It is already going away very quickly. It is really exciting to see this new person in our family.

Evan comes to meet his little brother. He was curious and smiled at Drew. At one point a picture person came in to take Drew's hopital photo and I was cooing at Drew to keep him calm and that is the only time Evan was a little miffed. Otherwise he said "baby" a lot and smiled at Drew with curiosity. I missed Evan a whole bunch while I was in the hospital, I am glad to be home.
