Josie!

She's Here!

At last, Josephine ("Josie") Grace Barnhart was born! She was born April 10th at 10:35 pm. She weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 20 inches long. Sarah and I both love her very much! She's so cute! I can't say enough about her! She's very alert, and hardly fusses! Enough talking about her, I'm going to post pictures!

Here she is about an hour after being born, looking very alert!

Aww... How cute is she?

Even I can hold a baby! Especially a cute one like Josie!

A mother/daughter bonding moment.

Here Sarah and Josie are ready to leave the hospital.

There will be more posts and stories and pictures to come soon. Believe me! Sarah and I need our rest first though. Who knew being a parent could be such a tough job...

Impending Doom...I mean, Birth

Well, we saw my doctor today and got the good news! She's LETTING me be induced this week! I say "letting" because she was more hesitant that I was. In truth, Mike had her in a headlock while I sucker-punched her until she gave in. It was worth the bruises, right Doc?

We don't OFFICIALLY have a date yet (she has to call the hospital and make sure the can fit me in...which sounds so funny when you know how BIG I am! I hope they have large doorways and even larger beds to fit me into!) But, hopefully it will work out that we'll go in Wednesday evening (around 4 or 5 she said - which means about 3:45 to me!)

Be expecting an update soon! And I'll be expecting your prayers that this little bugger responds well and comes safely!
