Bro

I met Bro this past weekend. Talk about little. Its not even that I'm used to toting around a 15lb baby, its that Amelia was never as small as Bro is now. I felt like I was holding a piece of paper the whole time. And its not just the fact that he weighs so much less than my little chunk, his entire body is smaller. I mean, his wrist is about as big as my thumb. And I just wish that Amelia's head had been as small as his. I probably wouldn't have had such a hard time delivering/recovering from Amelia if she had his head.

But all his "littleness" just makes him so cute. And what a sleepyhead. The only time I knew he was awake was when I heard him crying during his changing sessions. Everytime I saw him, his eyes were closed. He probably thinks "I didn't get my nap out in the womb, so I'm gonna finish it up out here." I'm so ready to see him again after Thanksgiving.

Jeannie was admitted to the hospital last night to begin induction. Gray started texting me this morning around 6:30 letting me know her progress. Lee Gray Turnage, III (Bro) arrived around 9am. He weighs 6lbs, 9oz and is 19.5in long. The last I heard, they were predicting him to weigh about 5.5 lbs. So it looks like he was able to put on a little more weight before his debut into society.

I will, hopefully, get to see him this weekend. Gray just sent me a picture, and he looks like most newborn babies, a little swollen and red. He does have a tiny looking little head though, which is probably why her labor was not as long as mine. Amelia has a big ole noggin'.

Congratulations Gray and Jeannie!!!!!

Why do people have to be shady? Chris, Amelia, and family members are really the only people in my life that I don't consider to be shadesters.

On another note...I'm so ready for Christmas. I have already been listening to Christmas music. Today at the book store I was drawn to the little kids Christmas books for some reason. I can't wait til I can read stuff like that to Amelia and she can actually get some enjoyment out of it. I also purchased a felt stocking kit for her so that she'll have a stocking at Sugar's house. I don't know why, but Christmas just puts me in the arts and crafts mood.
