Week 40 continued :)

We did not have to wait till week 41!

Brendan Cole made his appearance on May 6 at 6:59 pm, at 40 weeks and 4 days.

He was ready to be born, weighing 9 pounds and 3 ozs and measuring 22 inches.

He has already been such a blessing to us and we are praising God for another little miracle!

Andy and Kayla love him a lot and holding Brendan is a big treat.

Brendan is a good nurser and a super great snuggler. :) He loves it when his Daddy holds him.

Life is a lot busier with 3 kids though and we have been so blessed by our family and all that they have done for us, keeping Andy and Kayla overnight, or during my nap. Holding Brendan while I have a shower or a nap, bringing us meals and cleaning the house, you guys are all so very special to us and we love you so much!!

Just a few mins old.

From the time he born, till we left the hospital later that evening he was awake and looking around.

At home! Snuggles with Daddy.

A very proud big brother. :)

And big sister too!

We also want to thank everyone who helped us with shingling... yes, we got it done before the baby came. :)

Mom and Dad, Caleb, Zach, Jesse, Nathan, Henry and Steve for all your work up on the roof, Jen, Kerri and Megan for the yummy food and Raechelle for visiting with me and helping the day go by quicker. :) We could never have done it without you!!
