Please help us welcome Peter Daniel to our family!!
Peter (rock in Latin) was born 8:04 am on 02/26/06 at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA. We arrived at the hospital around 6:00am, checked in, settled in, got monitored, poked and prodded. We went in to the operating room at about 7:45am. Daddy didn't remain fully conscious during the spinal. And at 8:04, we had a big, beautiful baby boy! Our friend Tara ran the videotape and took pictures. See her pictures here.
We stayed in the hospital two days. Had one scare where Peter choked and stopped breathing when he was 12 hours old. Now he's home and mom and he are both recovering nicely.
UPDATE 3/7: Peter is gaining weight nicely and eating up a storm! I've added four pictures below. Both our church and homeschooling co-op have been super great with meals. Plus Tara has been over helping this week. What a huge blessing!
The four other kids were watched by Jill's folks, who flew in for Denver to help out.
