It’s a Boy!
Nathan John Menier was welcomed into the world on Friday 9/16 2005 at 12:47 PM. He weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs 10 oz (2 oz heavier than Sam) and measured 21 inches long (2 inches longer than Sam). Both Mom and Baby are doing fantastic. Nate has been a very calm and quiet baby so far like Sam was, but unlike Sam, he learned to eat in no time and has hardly stopped since!
Mom is recovering from surgery very quickly. She is already back to a normal diet and is up and moving around. It’s been even smoother than last time, but it certainly helps that she didn’t endure 13 hours of labor this time around.
Sam met her new baby brother last evening. At first she just stared at him for the longest time. After that she was more interested in finding things to play with, but she wasn’t the least bit shy about approaching him and giving him a kiss when asked.
Mom, Dad and Nate will be at the hospital until Monday, and Sam will be staying with Grandma and Grandpa. We look forward to coming home and settling in with the new addition to the family. Thanks to everyone for your visits, calls, and emails wishing us well!
Some pictures of Sam from this summer are coming next, followed immediately by new Baby Nate pictures!
