Baby boy is here!

We are proud to present our newest addition to the family: Jaden Joshua Nelson, born on December 16th, at 8:32 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs, 6 oz. at birth and was 20 inches in length.



Everything went extremely well. The first picture in the slide show was of Stacie sitting in the OR, getting ready for her epidural, when the anesthesiologist was called away for an emergency, so we had to trudge back to the room and wait a little bit longer. But he was worth the wait; he came out crying, and has been a docile little boy ever since. We haven't had to deal with the immediate concerns that we had with Lexie so far, and we both feel incredibly blessed to have our healthy little one with us.

Lexie came to see us last night and would hardly let anyone else hold him. She is VERY excited to be a big sister! Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers from everyone. We are so lucky to have all of your support.

More to come...
