It's a Boy!!!






We are thrilled to announce the birth of our son!

One week ago yesterday we headed to St. John's Mercy Hospital to be induced. Chris and I were both very excited to meet our baby and schedule an induction date since we were a week past our original due date. 10 hours into the induction doctors decided it was not safe to continue labor as the baby's heart rate continually dropped below safe levels during contractions. After a successful c-section, we welcomed our beautiful son, Joshua Michael, into the world. Josh was born at 10:18AM and was a healthy 6lbs 15oz 20 in. He has dark brown hair and his father's eyes. We came home Thursday afternoon and have since been trying to re-adjust to life with our brand new little boy. Thank you for all your warm thoughts and wishes during our pregnancy and Joshua's birth. We are thrilled to share our newest addition with you! We know this is only the beginning of what is to become a blog dedicated to our newest (and greatest) love.

Chris and Kate

What a beautiful little blessing you have!
I'm sorry you had to have a c-section and go through the painful recovery that accompanies one. Ouch!!
A letter from Maegan is on its way. I will bring her to the library to get an up-close look at precious Joshua. (We don't have internet at home.)
Congrats!
Love,
Melanie
