He's Here!

DSC_2715_modCole Matthew arrived on Wednesday April 29th at 5:29 am. He weighed 6 lb 13 oz, and measured 19 1/2 inches. Labor and delivery went pretty smoothly, only lasting about 6 hours. We thankfully headed home the next day, after a long, dark, and cold night due to a 'planned' power outage as a result of hospital construction (perfect DSC_2724timing, right?) We also got to participate in the new 'baby LoJack' system at the hospital - note the object on his left ankle. The system still needs a bit of fine tuning though, as we learned... As I was wheeled to the nurse's station and we waited to leave, he apparently set off the (loud!) alarm, locking down all the exits on the floor, and sending a security guard our way. DSC_2797 Too funny. Cole is a pretty mellow baby thus far, only crying a bit when he is hungry or needs to burp. He's had a few sponge baths with no major complaints, and finds getting his hair washed very soothing - just like big sis Lauren as a baby :)
