Baby boy

3 days after the official due date, Cole was born at 5:29 AM on April 29th. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Everyone is doing great. Lauren is adjusting to being an older sister and mom and dad are adjusting to handling 2 little ones.

Here's Cole just after his first sponge bath.



Cole napping in the standard hospital issued cap and blankets. I think most hospitals use the same vendor or at least the same color palette.



Lauren meets her baby brother for the first time.

Here you can see our room lighting. If you look carefully, you might notice that this is the light pattern from a flashlight pointing at the ceiling. Our hospital had construction going on and had no power between 10pm and 6am except for a few critical outlets. This normally isn't too much of a problem except we had to wake up every 2-3 hours to feed and change Cole. Changing diapers by flashlight is not something you should have to do in a hospital.
