Welcome Austin

Austin James Price
8:21 AM
8 lbs 5 oz - 20.5 inches

We came to the hospital early this morning for a scheduled C-section. Everything went great. We got started a little later than expected, but it was no big deal. Charlotte did awesome with everything. Apparently, her placenta was in the front, instead of the back, so there was more blood loss than normal. That has caused a little bit of uncomfortableness in recovery, but it's expected. Austin came out great, Apgar scores were very good, and he looks healthy. He's about 2 inches longer, and 2 pounds heavier, than Evey was. It's weird because I don't remember our sweet little Evey being that tiny. They look very similar in the face, from what I can remember, except I don't think Austin has those big eyelashes that Evey and momma share. We are very blessed to have Austin in our lives and for the great doctors and smooth transition into this world.

Here's the pics I selected from today. I was just snapping away, so it was tough to narrow them down, but there's a couple I really like.


Mommy, ready to go...and we wanted one final picture of the belly.

Leading quotes for the next pic:
"What seems to be the problem in here?"
"Did someone call a doctor?"
"Why, yes...I DID stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night."

On the table and ready to go.

I got you.

Holiday spirit in the O.R.

OH...what do we have here?



Got caught up in the moment and snapped this about 5 minutes late.
I think 8:21am is the official time.

8lbs 5oz? No wonder mommy was so uncomfortable.

Aww yeah, this heat is nice.



Had a big day, I need to rest.


I like this shot with Mommy in the background.

Proud Poppa.


Hey mommy, nice to meet you.

One of my favorites.

Hey is that Aunt Kiss on the phone? Tell her I said hi.

One of my favorites.

    Congrats Char and James - what a cutey - and the time and weight coincidence - 8-2 @ 8:21 - that's kind of interesting - looks like he's got a good start in life! Hope you guys are doing well and hope Evey takes kindly to having a rival! What a way to start the holiday season - blessings!
