Our Newest Nephew!

Our new little nephew was born last night (well, officially I guess this morning) at 3 minutes after midnight. He almost made it as a Valentine's baby, but just a few minutes too late. They named him William Aloysius, and he was 8 lbs 10 oz. After nearly 2 hours of pushing with no success, they tried the vacuum, but no luck, so she ended up having a c-section. We were there at the hospital from 7:45pm until 1:45am, but we did finally get to see our new little nephew. Our boys were excited waiting to see their new cousin, but they didn't quite make it...they fell asleep in the waiting room before he was born. We thought she might go faster than that since this is her 3rd kid (she also has a 15 yr old boy and an 11 yr old boy) and she went fast with the first two, so we were afraid to leave to take the boys to my dad's house nearby (and we live 2 hours away, so there was no way to take the boys home to our house). We did eventually go to my dad's house to sleep for a few hours after it was all over, and then drove back home this morning.



Here's the pic I took of our new nephew around 1:00am this morning, when he was almost an hour old...
