Coming home today!

Michelle and baby Drew are coming home from the hospital today. He is anxious to see his new digs!

We have photos!

If I could have had internet access at the hospital, it would have been easier to publish these.

have a look!

Stay tuned for more!

Welcome Drew Elliott Manley

Well, it is a miracle indeed. After a night of not much sleep (pre-labor) and various drugs and examinations, we are proud to announce the birth of little Drew Elliott Manley at 3:09 pm PST today!

He weighs in at 7 lbs, 5.8 oz
He is 19" long
He has strawberry blonde hair
He is fantastic!

This is the first of many photos to come.

Getting more ready

Here we go. Today is the day we go into the hospital. We're definitely a little nervous, but also very expectant of wonderful things to come. It's fun to think we can sort of "schedule" this whole process, as we have a normal full day planned, and then we seemingly just "go to the hospital and have a baby". It looks like I'll stay there overnight and so we'll begin the process together.

The countdown continues!

Just a few more days! We're preparing the nursery for the arrival of our little boy! The diapers are stocked and we're caught up on sleep, so let the show begin!
