There's a new man in the fam', and his name is Samuel Boaz, AKA "Bo"! Isn't that the sweetest name? My sister-in-law, Brook (affectionately known as "Aunt B"), and her husband, Sam, welcomed this little guy into the world yesterday.
Jacob, Reed, and I rushed to the hospital as soon as we found out that Bo had arrived. Reed had to stay in the waiting area with Cha-Cha and Poppy while we met Bo, which was a major bummer, even though he has his flu shot and everything. He was pretty confused about it since we had talked the ENTIRE way to the hospital about how to treat a new baby! We rolled with it though, bribed him with a few suckers, and discovered a fish tank in the waiting room that provided the perfect distraction.
There is just nothing like meeting a newly born baby. Little Bo was warm and curled up in his little newborn blankie. He just rolled his head around a little and checked me out with one barely-opened eye. He's an observant little fellow. After looking me over and approving me (whew), he squeaked and hummed like newborns do (I had completely forgotten about that!) and captured my heart in about 0.034 seconds. I couldn't believe how peaceful and content he was! Such a good boy already...

Bo and me. I think I'm a little excited!
Aunt B is doing great, and she and Sam are striding confidently into parenthood (the coolest, most exciting hood, in my opinion). I'll be sure to post pics of Reed and Bo in the near future as they begin their adventures together as cousins!
Take care,
