He's Here!

(Updated: I added a few more pictures down at the bottom from when Luke and Grammy got to meet Will today.)

Allow me to introduce- after a long, long, long wait- our newest addition: our son William Stephen Scott. Yes, we finally settled on a name. William is Mindy's grandfather's name, and Stephen is both of our Dads' name. Will was born at 4:05 am on 24 January 2008 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. He weighed 9 lbs. even (!) and measured in at 21 in. long. Mindy and Will are both doing great with no complications.

We'll post the whole story and some more pictures later, but for now here are a few for everyone.


Mindy before they induced her. She was happy to get this little guy out of there.


Will was not happy to join us...as evidenced by his long stay inside Mommy. But we were happy to see him.

What a cute little man!

The four of us! Yikes!

Girl, you rock my world! I knew you could hold out!! =) Looks like it was WELL worth the wait...he's a sweetie...I love how unhappy he looks in that one picture because it just makes me laugh that he was so cozy and content staying inside. =) What a trip......William is a beautiful name. More later...Congratulations!

P.S. Even Travis said, "It's about time" when I told him you were having the baby last night! =) hehe

Congrats to all of the Scott family. He is a good looking little guy. Too bad he couldn't been born on Jamie's B-day (sure Mindy would have gone for 4 hours and 5 minutes earlier) Enjoy! Grammy you win (score: 2 to 0) Don't tell jamie & randy this!

Aww! So exciting. He is adorable. Just so you know my sister in law went a week overdue and it seems like over due babies are a lot less fussy. She is 3 1/2 weeks and sleep through the night just fine!!
