Baby Joey is Here!
Oct 24th, 2006 by Tana
Baby Joey (Joseph Henry) arrived yesterday morning, October 23, at 8:47 a.m. He weighed exactly 8 pounds and is 19.5 inches long. Labor and delivery went very well – we had a waterbirth without any drugs or interventions for me or baby – so we were able to come home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. We will be enjoying a brief babymoom for the rest of the week as we rest and get to know our new baby. Once my Mom arrives on Friday, we will begin entertaining visitors on a limited basis and then gradually return to our regular activities. Ben is making the transition to big brother very well – last night when Steve put him to bed, he gave one of his teddy bears to Daddy to go share with the new baby.

Daddy went and brought big brother Ben to the hospital so we could all go home together. Here Ben is watching while Mommy dresses baby Joey to go home.
