SURPRISE!

Peter and I are overjoyed to welcome Awesome Funk into our family. Awesome was born last Friday at 12:22 pm. He was exactly six weeks early, weighed 5 lbs. 5 oz, and was 17.5 in. long. We are happy to report that he is doing well. His big challenge at the moment is learning to eat and he is learning quickly. I am home and doing well, but Awesome gets to stay in the hospital for a while longer. Here are some pictures of our beautiful son.

Yay for pictures!!! He's a good lookin' lil' boy! So, what caused you to go into labor so early? It's weird to think I saw you a few hours before you went into labor. Crazy, but those are close to Rose's stats when she was born. 5 LBS. 6 oz. 18 in. She was 3 1/2 weeks early.

Forgot to say that I was trying to tell Benjamin about Andrew's birth. "Do you remember Sister Funk?" "Yeah." "Do you know she had a baby?" "Yeah, I know. She's this old isn't she?" And he held up his thumb and said, "She's 18, right?" :D

Awe! He is so cute. I was really surprised to see that you had your baby. I thought that you were about the same time as me. I'm 36 weeks now. I'm glad things are doing well. He is beautiful.
