So, as many of you know, something totally awesome happened this past week in our family. Almost two weeks late, and just in time for my birthday, the latest addition to our family arrived. It took a couple of days for us to debate, deliberate and decide on his name, especially since we wanted to be surprised when he came as to what he was. It was another totally awesome waterbirth for me and the midwife says that if she is my midwife for the next one she'll let me get in the water sooner for relaxing than she did with this one. Once he decided to come there was no time for anything but greeting him. Cyrus was 8 lbs and 21 and 1/4 inches long with reddish blond hair at birth. The kids are slowly starting to warm up to him. Keileigh's first reaction was, "But Mommy, I wanted a little sister!' and today she has deigned to call him "Mommy's baby" and give him kisses. Knut is as excited as can be to have another brother and Nevan is not really pleased, but willing to try to figure out how to share Mommy. We will be taking more pictures this week as we work on incorporating Cyrus into our family with the Christmas traditions going on this week.
If I don't post before then, I hope everyone has an awesome couple of holidays coming up!

Taken this morning right before church so Daddy would have a picture on the camera to show anyone who was interested. And no that isn't a bruise, it's a birthmark and he does have the Parker pout.
