Brody's Here!

He's here, he's here!! My water broke at 11:45 Saturday morning, and after a few short hours of labor, Brody McCrone Belville made his arrival into this world at 5:23pm. He weighed 6 lb 5 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He's perfect, healthy and beautiful! We had a wonderful labor and delivery experience and things could not have been easier!We thought that we would all be heading home this morning, but Brody has a moderate level of jaundice, so it looks like he may be staying one more day in order to spend some time under his little tanning lights :) Big Brother Brax loves the "baby" and wants to "hug, hug" and "pat, pat" him all of the time. He also asks him, "Okay, baby?" when he cries. It's very sweet. We'll see how long that lasts once we get home :) I have a couple of pictures from Mimi Laurie's camera because we can't find my camera cord. Hopefully we'll locate that and get some more pictures posted soon. Until then, enjoy these pictures of that sweet little face!!!

He's BEAUTIFUL, and could not have been born into a more loving family! I still can't get over how laid back he already seems (with all the noise that the boys caused). We love you four, and we're so thankful that mommy and baby are happy and healthy.

Hi Josh & Darci~ I just did a google search and found your blog. I was so excited to get a glimpse of your new little guy after hearing the joy and excitement in Laurie's voice Saturday night when she called me. Congratulations to all of you. What a beautful family you have:)
