Welcome Baby Pierce!!

He's here!! Pierce Anthony arrived on August 1, 2008 at 9:54 in the morning. Despite being two weeks early, he weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 19 inches long! Both Pierce and his Mommy are feeling great and are expected to come home tonight. Pierce is having some issues with newborn jaundice (just like his brother James did) and will be coming home with a special blue-light to help him get over it. It's a common situation - no worries!
Big brother James was excited to see Mommy and Pierce. We joke that for months while we've been talking about "Baby Pierce" and setting out clothes and furniture for him, James must have been wondering who the heck Pierce is and why am I the only one that doesn't see the kid?

When he was asked later if he had a baby brother named Pierce, James simply replied "no".


This is a proud cousin. There are two proud cousins actually. And they argue about Pierce - "My baby Pierce!" "No, I get to hold Pierce first." "No! Me hold!"

And here is Pierce's Auntie hijacking the baby from Mia. My first hand account is that he's delicious. Smells like Johnson's and baby breath. Love it.
