Last night we welcomed Nicholas ("Nico" for short) into the world. He was 38 weeks along at birth and weighed in at 8lbs 2 oz, 19 1/2 inches long. He has a full head of light brown hair (matches both Miles and I) and has been eating, pooping and peeing non stop since he was born. He's a very calm little guy and likes to "squeak" when he wants to eat.
He came quick, from start to finish, the labor was about 3 1/2 hours long. I didn't even have time to make it to the airport before he was here. Guess he was in some kind of hurry to get going. I flew in at about 1am this morning and came straight to the hospital. Sarah is doing very well. The epidural was at full strength when he came, so she lucked out and said that this birth was, " a lot easier" than Miles' birth.
Miles is thrilled to have a little brother. He calls Nicholas "baby brother" or "baby Nico". We've caught him several times trying to wake him up so that they can "play". We took Miles to Build a Bear a few weeks ago and he picked out a stuffed puppy with a surfer outfit to give Nico. He was very excited to give it to his little bro this morning.
Thank you everyone for your support and congratulations. We are absolutely thrilled to have Nicholas here and can't wait for him to meet everyone.

The first time Lamar met Nico
Lamar and I took Miles to Build-A-Bear a while ago to make Nicholas a present for when he was born. This is Miles giving his little bro his present.
Sweet angel
