And finally . . .William

I know it's been three weeks already since he's arrived, but I figure being a mommy to a newborn again is my excuse to not be blogging.
William arrived on March 23rd at 8:25pm after a long, but rewarding labor. He weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz, 21 1/2 inches long, and let's not forget all that dark hair! We couldn't be more proud to welcome another boy into our family, and I really do mean that. I really did think he was a girl, up until I was in labor, then Thomas and I both had a feeling that it was another boy. He is an angel. His older brothers love him to pieces too. Although I am exhausted, it has been so special to have a baby in our home again. It feels like a little piece of heaven right here in our home. I love it.
He wasn't named until the day after, because we didn't have any boy names picked out really. The only positive name we had was for a girl, and I really didn't think he'd appreciate that! The name William came about when we were watching sport center in the delivery room. It was the name of some athlete, and we both really liked it. And have since found out that his first name and middle name (which I'm not putting on here) is also the name of one of Thomas' relatives in Hawaii. Score!
Here are some pics of the last few weeks with our little guy. Sorry, there are quite a few of them.
As you can see we are a little obsessed with the little guy!  His big brothers are especially proud and ask to hold him all the time!
