It's a boy!

It’s impossible for me to adequately elaborate on the events that have unfolded since my last post, but........We have a new baby boy! Benjamin Brooks was born Wednesday morning at 12:01 am, during a full moon, after 25 hours of laboring. He’s a whoppin’ 11 lbs 1 oz and 21 ½” long. He is super healthy and good, and so is Suzy. She delivered Ben completely naturally without a hitch, and from this day on shall be known as "Superwoman". It was obviously a gnarly and intense day and night, but the reward is the greatest gift imaginable. Big Sister is very excited, and to top it all off, today is her 1st day of 1st grade. I'd like nothing more than to completely pour out the complete story of this week, but I don't have the writing skills necessary, or the energy to fully capture the hurricane of emotions and events that have just passed. whew...........life is good............

On a side note, I'm also the proud holder of one bright shiny ticket to see WEEN!
