Introducing Cole Joseph

I can't believe Cole is almost 2 weeks old and I'm just getting this "announcement" up on the blog. When Brady was born, I had his welcome post up within 24 hours! They must have had better drugs at Northwestern :)

Without further ado... Matt, Brady and I are proud to introduce the newest member of our family!

We have been having a wonderful time these past two weeks getting to know our little man, as well as enjoying the company of many out of town guests. We couldn't have made it through the 4 days in the hospital without the help of my brother and parents watching Brady, and the first days at home were made easier thanks to my mother and father-in-law.

We appreciate all the calls and notes of congratulations! I'm sorry if I haven't gotten back to everyone but we've been very busy... and sleep deprived... I promise to be in touch soon!

It may be awhile before I can post another update, so until I log on again, here are a few photos from the first few days of Cole's life. The rest can be found here. Disclaimer: Some photos are of a "graphic" nature (ie, naked baby).

Love at first sight!

Brothers!

Our first photo as a family of four!

So alert already!

Brady loves giving Cole lots of kisses!

If you're interested in hearing the details of Cole's arrival, I am going to be posting his "Birth Story" on Mama Dish sometime this week, so check over there when you get a chance!
