Hello Silas Scott Ira…!

We are proud to announce the arrival of our son, Silas Scott Ira…!  He is 6.3lbs and 19″ long.  After a 7 hr labor he entered the world at 1:53PM today with singing lungs, big feet and his fist in his mouth.  (Looks like he’s going to fit right in with our family)  Right now, he’s eaten twice and slept quite a bit so we’ll see how the night goes!  We’ll be at the hospital until Sunday afternoon and then head home to adjust to our new family of four.

That is all on the condition of everything going according to plan.  Tomorrow our birth-mom will sign the release forms making everything official so while we are overjoyed today, there is always the possibility that we go back to square one if things don’t turn out.  That is part of the up and down roller-coaster ride of adoption.

But until then we are going to focus on what we have.  Here are a few snapshots of the momentous day…

Here he is…4 min old!

6.3 lbs!

Mama is washing him off from the hard day.

Asleep…and secretly giving his gang sign.

Isn’t he beautiful?

Softly sleeping.

Our beautiful, little boy.

Feeding #2!

Thanks to everyone who has been praying and supporting us through this whole process.  After asking for Baby Si and waiting so long, we believe he is a true gift from God.
