IT'S A BOY!!!!

Ok,ok! I'm very sorry this post is soooo overdue!!!! (no pun intended!) I am just behind on everything! So to get down to business, James Lawrence Gene Howdeshell was born on October 19th (congrats to those who guessed it would be a boy!) at 11:04 am. He weighed 8 pounds 15 oz! and was 14 in. around the head and chest! I got to be their for the birth too! (yes the entire thing:) Mom, Dad, and I drove up to St.Louis at about 1:40 AM!!! And she was in labor until 11:04! Trust me i am not complaining about lack of sleep!!! He is a beautiful little miracle and he is SO mellow! Lets hope he stays that way! haha!

Mommy at the Hospital with baby James!

Aren't his little hands adorable?!!?

Haha! Some dear friends of ours got him this hat and booties! Aren't they sooo cute?!?!? I just love them! Thanks Melbys!!! ((hugs))

Jake is so proud of his li'll brother:)

Well, that's all for now I'll get more pics up soon.
p.s. I was *SUPPOSED* to get my braces off the day James was born but obviously i didn't! One of the nurses said "Man, your little brother is already trying to ruin your life! Haha!
