Introducing Lance Ebon Harmeling!

"Wazzzzzzz Up!"

He's here!!
and, of course, I am at a total loss of what to say. The obvious- we love him SO much already it is almost impossible to imagine life before him...

Lance was born on Thursday, September 10th at 11:52 am after an extremely long labor. He weighed in just one ounce short of seven pounds- 6 lbs, 15 oz. and 19.5 inches long. I told him that if he hadn't pooped all over me and him during our postpartum bonding session that he might have hit the big seven pound mark! oh well!

Here are some pics from his first three days-

MAJOR cone head and swollen face (and ear!) after trying to make his way through my pelvis and birth canal for three hours... poor guy! not his best look!

And looking more like himself the next day... great recovery, Lance!!

We are home safe and sound- so far he is a great sleeper, an awesome eater and is doing great!

He has been much more awake and alert for the past couple of days and we finally got some shots of him with his eyes open!

He's also been working on his hair styles...

The Wall Street?

The Comb Forward:


Or the Clark Kent?

Impossible not to love him, isn't it???

THANK YOU to everyone for your support and love over the past days and months..
and for old time's sake, here is the last shot of me and Lance on the day we went into labor-
