Meet baby Scott

He came 12 days earlier than anyone expected, and weighed 7lbs - 8 ounces. Both mom and baby are doing well. She's on morphine and he's asleep.

Details to follow.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! And we welcome our 17th great-grandchild, even though he is not named "John Henry"! And even though you may go to Calgary instead of Provo (we don't know - do you???) again we still love you. But if I had a sister with a new baby and I just had one I guess I'd want to live close by her and we can "goo" over our babies together - if that is the way you go! We haven't given up our hopes, just letting you know of our LOVE! And see, Grandma Walters was the first to come in and congratulate you, how about that for support????

Everyone (E, N, C, J & B) are all cycling up the steepest paved road in the US, I'll pass the word around then they get back!

Good to see babe and momma are doing well!

Give her our love :)

Oh, and way to go on delivering Scott ahead of schedule and under budget. This achievement certainly bodes well for your upcoming academic endeavours. Bravo!

Hopefully T and I will see you in July when we come down for our annual visit. (If you're still there?!)

Yahoo! Only one red light? Is that really true?

Congrats on good health and a smooth delivery.

D said...

Yup, just one red light: Fisher Ave & Baseline Road. I waited for the police officer to get halfway down the block before I went.

We were in a hurry.
