I have to make two separate posts today, one for the arrival of numero tres and one for Kellan's first day of 1st grade.
This first posting being Dexter Rawlings birth on Monday, July 27, 2009 at 3:27 p.m. MTN, in Lone Tree, CO (5 minutes from our house) at SkyRidge Medical Center. Weighing in at 6 lbs. 7 oz. measuring 20 inches long.
Dexter is doing great. He arrived in the world on the cold side (95 degrees), um wonder who he's already taking after? Otherwise all his stats are great and we came home from the hospital on Wed. 7/29. Our first night home I "slept" with him in a chair sitting up. He had a certain male procedure done before leaving the hospital which left him pretty miserable his first day home. Not to compare him already, but I do think he looks like Kellan (minus the smashed in face for those that remember when Kellan was born) and he definitely has Jim's mouth and chin.
Kellan and Zoe love him a lot and constantly want to hold him...for now. They are even being nice to each other in Dexter's presence - "It's Zoe's turn to hold Dexter first" - "No, Kellan that's ok, it can be your turn." "Kellan will you get Dexter a clean outfit" "Sure Zoe, sure." - quite precious. We'll see how long it lasts. We finally had to let them both in on how he will eat over the next several months - Kellan is still grossed out. I just hope it didn't make for the first day of 1st grade conversation.
We're having a tough time coming up with nicknames. Zoe's thrown out "Pickles" and Jim's been calling him "Mr. 'D'" to the kid's dismay. Kellan, has taken on calling him "Little 'D.'" Any suggestions?
Thank you everyone for all the well wishes. There will be many more pictures and videos to come. As soon as I figure out how to get the videos off our camera and onto our computer I'll post videos.
Can't wait for everyone to meet him and him to meet you!
Love The Munhollands
