He's Here!

Jared Christopher arrived at 12:31 p.m. today and is doing great! He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. He has been very happy and content so far. He ate well this evening and then was alert for the next couple of hours. We think he looks a lot like Noelle did when she was born. Jared definitely has a head full of hair like Noelle (you can see a baby picture of her here).

Thank you so much for praying for us. We will continue to update over the next few days.
