Eric James

Ladies and gentlemen, I am thrilled to introduce you to our son, Eric James!

Our sweet E.J. made his grand entrance into the world at 1:27 p.m. on the Fourth of July, weighing in at 8lb 6oz and 21 inches long. His black hair and dark eyes are every bit as handsome as his daddy's.

E.J. joined us via cesarean section, after a valiant (if I do say so myself) attempt at a VBAC, facilitated by a great support team. Naturally, details about all of that will be coming soon.

We were able to celebrate E.J.'s birth with a "0" birthday party that very afternoon, attended also by his Grammy and proud big sister Ellie.

We came home from the hospital on Sunday, and my mom left last night after staying with Ellie while we were in the hospital. Now, we are basking in the glow of our new addition and trying to find our new groove.

We are just so over the moon to be a family of four!
