It's a Boy!!!!!

We welcomed Brayden James into the world on Oct 14th at 4:13 pm. He weighs 7lbs1oz and is 20 inches long. He has blue eyes and blonde hair. Everyone keeps saying how much he looks like his daddy---and I agree! He is just adorable! His hands and feet are huge...the doctor this morning said it looks like he will be a runner...and of course Aaron was excited about that! Although, Brayden did not want to leave the comfort of his mommy's belly, once we got things rolling yesterday he progressed REALLY quickly! The doctors actually told me I pushed him out in record time---13 minutes! Our doctor was on her way...along with the rest of the medical staff...but they arrived after he had already made his way out---lets just say they were all shocked with how quickly that part went! Brayden is doing great...he is sleeping a lot and eating pretty well...and well I won the "award" this morning...I got the first DIRTY diaper! I am also doing great---feeling well. And, Aaron is doing well too! I cannot begin to explain how overjoyed we are....parenthood really is such an amazing thing....for 41 weeks Brayden was growing inside of me...and we were constantly wondering what he would look like and how he would act....and now we get to hold him in our arms and just take it all in. I cannot even explain in words how amazing the whole experience is. We would like to thank everyone for all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers and we will continue to keep everyone posted with Brayden updates! Here are a few pics from last night...
