Colton joined our family on July 14th at 9:20 in the morning. He didn't make the turn and remained head-up to the end. After a full night of contractions in the hospital and one last attempt by the doctor to turn him, Melanie had her first C-Section and we got a beautiful baby boy. He weighed in at 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 19 inches long. Like the rest of our kids, he has old-man hair that will likely get cut off once we get home. So far, he has been golden--never crying (except during his bath) and eating and sleeping like a champ. I'll leave it to Melanie to tell the full story later but in the mean time here are some pictures. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers--Mike
Melanie and the boy
Kenzie was the most excited to have Colton here--maybe we can train her to take care of him at night? I'm sure that there are no child endangerment issues there.
