Samuel Joseph Hazlewood

He's here! Samuel Joseph Hazlewood was born on Thursday, August 30th at 7:59am! He weighed in at 8lbs 11oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. The c-section went well...it was very bizarre to be awake through all of that though. It is amazing how all of that works. I am a bit sore still, but feeling really good today. We are almost going stir crazy here in the hospital and can't wait to get home, but we have had the best experience here with the nurses. They have all been so helpful to us and especially when I have been learning how to feed him...they have been so amazing! Thank God all of you nurses out there!
We will be going home tomorrow morning sometime, so it will be nice to get home and settle in.
Here are some pictures that we have taken so far (we've only taken about 5000 of them already). We will keep you posted once we get home and settled in!

He is absolutely the most adorable precious baby. I cannot wait to hold him. It is so strange to me that I have never met the child and feel like I've known him forever. Much love to your expanding family...
