JAMES POWELL FRY arrives!

HERE HE IS!!!! Powell is here! He was born last night  via emergency C-Section @ 10:34 P.M. weighing in at 4 pounds and 2 oz. He is 17" long.  We were hoping he'd hold off until midnight, then he would've been born on Daddy's birthday! But, he was ready to see his mama and daddy!!! He is such a little DOLL! He has some dark hair and eyebrows and is so adorable! And what a beautiful little face he has! His face is about the size of the inside of your palm is the best way to describe his size. He's tiny but fiesty! and you can tell, he will be a big boy one day! For now, He is in the NICU until he gains some weight. After all, he wasn't due to arrive until Jan. 22, 2008!!!!!!! Instead, we got an early Christmas Present!!!! Rachel and Charles are soooooooo excited and I loved watching Charles watching his new little son! Terry and I went in with Charles first; then Terry let Katie go in . I , however, would not leave! HAHA!  Only 3 at a time can go in (with one parent). First you have to go and scrub up. Then you walk into the NICU where all the babies are lined up. What an experience to see him the first time!!! So tiny and yet so perfect! He is such a little angel and we are beside ourselves with Joy and THANKFULNESS that he is doing so well!!! Check out the picture of Charles' hand next to him to get an idea of his size. I didn't want to leave him and it was all I could do not to touch him!! He is just perfect and now all he needs is some extra weight so that I can hold him (and as Terry told them when we left, "LET HIM SPEND THE NIGHT!!!!" Hahahaha). Thank You, God, for our newest gift from heaven!
