Piper and Graham

Piper met her little brother for the first time today. Completely unprompted, she walked right up to him and gave him a huge kiss (and gave him lots and lots more after that). Then we gave her a new baby doll that she quickly became obsessed with.

We think Piper will make a wonderful big sister!

Sleepy boy

He's here!

Graham Webb Herring was born at 9:22 tonight (December 5). He weighs 7lbs 5oz, is 20 inches long, and has a tiny bit of reddish blond hair.

We barely made it to the hospital in time! We were admitted at 8:50. I was already 8 cm dilated and was 9.5 just four minutes later. Needless to say, I didn't have the luxury of an epidural. Just three pushes later, he was born!

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas!

Graham's Nursery

Josh and I finally added the finishing touches to Graham's nursery, probably just in time.  This room was formerly our guest room.  I didn't want to lose the extra bed for when we have visitors, so we had to work around that and the bedding I already had on it.  We also had to incorporate the big (huge) and wonderful rocker/glider from Piper's room.  That chair takes up a ton of space both because of its size and the fact that it has to sit out such a distance from the wall so it can rock and recline. 

All in all, I am thrilled with the way the room looks.  Special thanks to Tam-Tam for the beautiful black crib and to Nana for the paint job.
