Baby Khalil Is Here!

He is here!
After much waiting we can finally say that he has arrived! His grand entrance was quick and for the most part pain free.
I recommend hypnobirthing to anyone who is looking for a little more direction in birth. It was great for Eryn and I because he was able to direct me to a place where I was able to stay calm and relaxed for 99% of our birth.
Enough about hypnobirthing on to the good stuff...
He arrived on 8-15-10 at 12:15 pm weighing in at 6lbs 11oz and 20in long just 30 min after we arrived at the hospital.
He is our little miracle baby when he was born the midwife (Katie Robins...who we love) noticed a problem with his placenta that wasn't caught on his ultrasound. Her first comment after he was born was that he must have had a guardian angel in there with him. We are so grateful that he his here, healthy, and thriving without any negative effects from the complication.
We are also thankful for the prayers throughout our entire pregnancy for his safe and healthy arrival. Some had commented that we did look like we were having twins at one point and now I am convinced that it was his angel in there protecting him and making sure he arrived. I know that because Eryn and I offered up prayers that he would be a great man of God some day that he will be because he is a gift from God.
Please pray for his faithfulness to abound in all things and for him to love the Lord with all of his heart, soul and mind for all eternity.
After one day in the hospital where we were treated very well we came home because honestly there is nothing more comfortable than your own couch and bed.
Eryn and I are doing really well. We have started him on a schedule and are tag teaming the middle of the night fussiness. He has been a really good baby. He only cries when he needs something or is naked. It's all pretty manageable.
Since we went into labor Eryn has been my rock. He has been amazing! I can't describe how this life altering event has brought us so much closer together.
He is a natural Dad. Having not been around babies at all really he has a soothing demeanor that Khalil takes to and likes. He is so much fun to watch love on his son. This morning Khalil opened his eyes wide for the first time since he was born and just stared at Eryn. It's the little things that make life so much fun and exciting.
Kona (our first baby...a mini doxi) has been beside himself trying to figure out what is going on in his house with his parents. When we left for the hospital he was concerned and wanted to comfort me and go with us. Then while we were in the hospital he paced around the house whining and sulking. Since we arrived back home he has been intrigued by the "thing" that is occupying all our time. He gets concerned when Khalil cries or whimpers. He is starting to get protective of the one we call "little brother" and will sit next to his bassinet. Over all I think Kona is going to be a good "big brother".
Well I guess that is all I have to report for now. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

God Bless
