Well, our little guy surprised us and came 2 weeks early! I woke up a little after 1:00 am Monday morning with regular contractions and couldn't go back to sleep. About 4 we decided to pack a bag (since we had yet to do this) and then at 5 decided to go back to bed and see if the contractions would ease up. By 5:30 we were in the car on our way to the hospital. We arrived at 6:00 am and a little over 12 hours later our little Damon Jay was born! He was born at 6:17 pm weighing 6 lbs. 8 oz. and measuring 19 inches long.
The day started out like this...
And ended like this...
Grandma Lee, Grandpa Kim, Uncle Danny,
Grandma Susan, Papasito, mommy and daddy
Look at this sweet, peaceful little face
We are so excited that our little buddy is here! He is already such a joy in our life and we have enjoyed every second of the last 11 days. His little spirit has brought so much happiness to our home and we look forward to raising this sweet little boy!
These are my favorite pictures of Damon and Daddy:
