Gotta love those arms...

Elliot loves being swaddled...his arms go up to his ears so often that we assume this is how he sat for so long in utero.

We are blessed! Welcome, Elliot!

Elliot Coleman Lydon - Born Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 11:07 AM
6 lbs. 15 oz. - 22.25 inches
A healthy baby boy!

Jeanne began to experience contractions Saturday night around 10 pm. She called the midwives in earnest on Sunday morning around 7 am. They arrived quickly, after which her water broke around 9. Two hours later, a healthy, vigrous baby boy arrived into our lives. He immediately tried out his new lungs and fifteen minutes later he was nursing. Please call or come visit!

37 Weeks!


Well, not sure if my belly looks much bigger in this picture than in the last one, but in real life I'm feeling HUGE these days! Still feeling good, though, and starting to look forward to meeting our little frog...


You know you're pregnant when...
your maternity clothes don't cover everything anymore!!!
