HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gerrit Christopher Johnston

Our handsome little man has finally arrived! He blessed us with his presence on January 4 at 5:12 a.m. He weighed in at 8 lbs 5.9 oz and 20 inches long. He is named after Chris's maternal grandfather. He came very fast (more on that story later). For now here are a few pictures to tide you over. I promise to post lots more once we are home. He decided he wanted to be like his big sister and hang out in the NICU for a couple days. He is doing well, just gave us a little scare with a couple of choking episodes. Hopefully he will only need to be observed for a couple of days and then we will get to take him home. In the meantime, I am staying at the hospital so that I can feed him and snuggle him as much as he needs until we take him home. Now on to the photos...

First snuggles with mom.

He didn't enjoy his first bath.

Hanging with mom.
