Our son has arrived!

It's a boy!
Leo Finley Steeves

Wednesday, August 14 at 5:01 p.m.

5 pound, 2 ounces

19 inches

Arrived early (due date was Sept. 6), but thankfully, healthy!

Walking the hospital hallways and hoping for a miracle from gravity.

This woman not wearing scrubs and who looks like a model is my doctor.
Her prenatal care was excellent, as was all the healthcare I
received during the pregnancy and delivery.

My doctor arrived at the hospital shortly after we did and
stayed with us the entire time. I was her only patient that day.

The plumber had to be called in to fix the hot water in the tub,
though he said he didn't know why we'd bother
as it looked to him like I was pretty close to delivering.
Dammit if he wasn't right; we filled the tub but didn't get a change to use it.

Our healthy, but tiny, baby boy.

What a day!

Nana and her new grandson.

Leo's future mother-in-law Molly said it best:
"I want to say he looks like Brye, but then I would be lying."

Eri is doing very well as a big sister and loves helping care for Leo.

It's hard to remember all the tricks of caring for a newborn,
but Geoff didn't forget the importance of "skin-to-skin."

At her first day back at preschool after Leo's arrival,
Eri brought a chocolate cake, and special guest Nana, to celebrate
her new status as a big sister with all her classmates.

My two babies!!!
