Henry David Swisher!
He's here! Our little boy, Henry David made his appearance Friday morning, November 19th at 4:47 am. We went into the hospital Thursday night at 8 for an induction and things went fast - my midwife made it just in time! We just came home this afternoon and are enjoying being home. There are lots of priceless pictures from the last few days. We love our new and improved family!
Leaving for the hospital.
This is the last time I was smiling that night...
...until this moment!
Henry David, 7lbs 2 oz (just like Jane!) and 19 3/4 inches.
The midwife made it, but Nana got there 3 minutes after Henry's arrival. We called her with what we thought was plenty of time, turns out Henry was in a hurry.
A proud Daddy & his little buddy.
Freshly bathed.
Henry, meeting his big sister for the first time!
Jane acted so old when she was meeting Henry. She hugged him, kissed him and even held him.
Our new family of four!
Henry brought Jane a present, a Barney doll!
Jane has been sleeping, playing and eating with Barney ever since. :)
What a sweet sister & brother!
Jane loves Henry's fingers.
Checking out Henry's toes.
Papa finally got his chance.
Jane decided she needed a blanket and to be held too.
Unlike our hospital stay with Jane, this time we had LOTS of visitors.
Our good friend Katie was one of the first.
Aunt Shaina
The guys! The numbers are even now.
This was Uncle Matt's only break from Jane duty all weekend. :)
Meeting Grammy & Grampy.
Great-Aunt Lori
Snuggling with Daddy. :)
Cousin Kelsey (and babysitter extraordinaire!) :)
Jane was telling Mommy all about Papa, Nana & Uncle Matt babysitting. She had so much fun she was not too excited when Nana left tonight.
Jane thought she needed to try our Henry's hospital bassinet.
I'm sure there will be more pictures soon. Now there will have to be twice the pictures since we have two! Thank you to all of our family and friends for your prayers for a safe delivery. Henry is healthy and happy and we are overjoyed to have him home with us.
The video is of Jane & Henry's first meeting. It was very sweet and couldn't have gone better - Mommy was trying very hard not to cry.
