Grayson Henry

Grayson Henry (we finally have a name!) was born early Friday morning, August 27, 2010 - 3:37 a.m. to be exact. It was a fast and furious labor, but we are so thankful for the experience. We were in our room for a total of 22 minutes before he was out - yowsah! I'm glad we left the house when we did. He is about 12 days early, but weighing in at 8 pounds 11 ounces, we're glad he didn't wait any longer. We were so ready to see him and we couldn't feel more blessed to have him out and in our family now. Our family doctor has done a good "once over" on him and says he's perfect. My nurse mid-wife said that everything looks great and was encouraged when she interrupted my shower last night. Here are some pictures of our little guy.
Moments after birth:
Baby Gray got Ilana some Play-Doh. Despite the picture, she was very excited. How thoughtful of Gray. :)
Daddy enjoying some Daddy-son time.
He was 20.5" at birth. Here he is stretching out.
I already love his button chin!
Falling in love...again.
AWESOME Dad of TWO!! Mommy loves having these guys visit. :)
It's been a great few days!

Welcome Grayson! He's so cute - looks like a combo of both of you!

Hope the transition to a family of 4 is a good one! Ilana is going to be great at this big-sister thing :)
