Drew Joseph Is Here!

Drew Joseph arrived at 4:20 PM this afternoon at Methodist Hospital. He is 9 lb 2 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. Alicia enjoyed pushing 3 times instead of 3 hours this time around and is feeling great. Brian is still amazed at how relatively quick & easy today was compared to the last time.

Big Brother Tyler has already come to meet Drew and has had the following comments:

"That's cool!" -- when first told he had a baby brother over the phone
"That's a tiny little baby" -- at the first sight of Drew
"Does he have arms?" -- when trying to give a swaddled Drew a stuffed giraffe
"He has a big butt." --when looking at Drew all wrapped up in blankets

You know what is better than having a new grandson? Having two sweet grandsons!!!! Grandpa and Grandpa are so proud and pleased they have been there three times. Grandma already has some scrapbook pages for Drew and added to Tyler's book.
