Lucy meets Oliver

Lucy meets Oliver, a photo by carolinearmijo on Flickr.

Oliver Gray arrived at 8:45 this morning, after just 44 minutes of natural labor and four hours after my water broke. He weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. Today was the beginning of Week 39. So with just two extra weeks, he weighed considerably more than Lucy. She was 6 lbs 6 oz and 19 inches at precisely 37 weeks.

Lucy wasn’t at all fazed when she woke up to find her parents gone and Heather ready to take her to school. As you see, she is taking to Big Sisterhood like a natural. We have some videos we hope to post separately.

We are all doing great – thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and support!
