IT’S A BOY!
I am thrilled to announce the arrival of our sweet little baby boy.
I’m not going to lie. Deciding on a name for this little guy was not easy. Indeed, we didn’t finalize our choice until well into this afternoon. We had a short list of girl names and a short list of boy names waiting for the little one’s arrival. Before today, the only name of which we were certain was that if we had a boy his middle name would be Daniel - named after my dad.
As soon as I held the baby – even in his gooey just born condition – I knew what I wanted to name him. I just *knew* I was holding my son Max. My husband had another name in mind, but when I explained how I felt there was no way he could argue. Despite that, I still felt reluctant to commit to a name for some reason. As the day wore on, the name seemed to suit him more and more and we all agree it’s perfect for him.
Now that we have the name and stats out of the way, here are some quick pics from Max’s first day.

The birth was kind of crazy and didn’t exactly go how I imagined. I’ll work on putting the birth story into words soon. {Updated to add the link to the post about Max’s birth story.} But that doesn’t matter much now because the end result was perfection. In the form of a beautiful baby boy.

PS: Thanks to Mod Mum for the awesome delivery gown – I’ve gotten so many compliments. And, the kids were very proud to wear their Big Bro and Big Sis shirts from Funky Monkey.
