Henry is here!

On Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 6:28 AM we welcomed Henry Jay Harrod Nye into our family. He was 9 lbs. 8 oz. and 21.5 inches long. Jason and I were so excited to meet our little boy after nine months of waiting and wondering! The girls are all delighted with their baby brother, and so are we.

For anyone curious about his name: not only did we like it, but each name has some special significance. Henry is my paternal grandfather's middle name. Jay is what we call Jason. Harrod is my mother's maiden name and in honor of my late Grandpa Harrod.

Henry is not the best sleeper at this point (but boy can he eat!), so I don't have a lot of pictures (or blogging material). I'm mostly just trying to stay awake. :-) The majority of these were taken at the hospital or soon after we came home. The last few I took today just so the girls would have some photos to show at school!
