It's a Boy!!

Robert Fox was born at 4:02 this morning! He's 7 lb. 14 oz. and 21.5 inches long. I went to the birth center at 2:00 with contractions about 2 minutes apart. They weren't very painful, but they were consistent and had gotten closer together over the previous 3 hours. She checked me and I was between a 5 and 6, so she asked if I wanted her to break my water. "Yes please", I told her.

Clara was with us and stayed awake the entire time, coming in every so often until I started transitioning. She and Grandma came back in right after he came shooting out. He was quite a cheesy fellow. Clara has been just fine with a brother; she loves the little guy. No problems at all!

We are doing great and got home around 8:30. I'll try to write out a little more detail later. Thanks for all of your prayers and encouraging words these last few weeks!

Hello Kelsey and Chris: Thanks for the good pictures. I've had you in my prayers, and they have all been answered. I appreciate the name, Robert, and Louise said Bob probably had to apply for a larger crown today, because his head will be swelled with pride.

Take it easy and rest when you can. Hug Clara for me too.
I love you...Grand-Nanny
