He is Here

Eli George Nowland arrived on April 27, 2009 at 11:22AM. He is a beautiful healthy boy. He is 9 lbs 3 oz. and 21 inches long. Here are some pictures.

And here he is with his wonderful mother. Sarah did so great! She had to push for over 1 and a half hours. He was no small baby and he was full posterior (face up) to boot.


Sarah is feeding him now and he is doing great. We will all take a nap and we will give the full account later.
