New Arrival

Andrew Zeke Francis was born February 12, 2009 at 7:58 pm.  He was 6 lb 14 oz and 20.5 inches. Charles and I were so happy to finally meet him. These pictures were taken in the newborn nursery-where Charles was able to help give Andy his first bath. Charles is such a cute daddy, he is so proud of his little boy. I know they will have so much fun together as Andy grows up.  My mom came to stay with us after getting out of the hopsital. It is amazing how much work a newborn can be. There are times that Charles, my mom and I are all working to get Andy taken care of. So, hopefully I can gain some serious skills soon so that next week, when I'm alone, I can keep the boy alive. It is so amazing how much you can love one little boy and I know that love will only grow as we get to know him more. I know our lives will be a lot different now, but I am so excited for the years to come.


This is the day we left the hospital. All of Andy's cloths drown him because he is so little. I don't expect this to last for long since Charles and I were both chubby babies.
