Sweet Baby James

Stillman "James" Pond was born at 4:22pm on Monday, February 11th.He weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds, 6 ounces, and was 20 inches long. The labor was fast and furious. I was 6 centimeters dilated one minute and pushing just a few minutes later.

Aunt Keely gave James his first bath...The new big brother, Henry, liked the baby but loved the hospital gadgets and cabinets even more...Stillman's proud daddy...James' proud mommy...We're settling and relaxing now (and still debating on what we are officially calling him). James seems like an incredibly mellow baby compared to Henry's first days. We're grateful for our boys!

More to come soon!
