The 9 month wait is finally over. Thanks to the help of my doctor, this guy made his appearance on his due date: Novemember 14th, 2014. I plan on writing out his whole birth story, but for now I just want to introduce him. Here's the newest member of our family: Ivan Jude Vance. We named him after my dad, and loved the fact that it means God is gracious. Jack and John - the other boys middle names - mean the same thing. We believe that to be very true! He has been very gracious to our family.
He weighed in at 9lbs 4oz - almost a pound bigger that Silas. Good thing he didn't wait much longer to come out. He was 21 inches long and had another big head. He definitely looks similar to his brothers, but with his own unique characteristics.
Meeting Mama for this first time! He calmed right down after being placed on my chest and made himself rather comfortable. We both worked hard and were worn out.
Meeting Daddy... and the beard!
We're in love... again!!
Meeting the brothers!
Amos couldn't contain his excitement and Silas was all smiles!!! They we're pumped to meet Ivan.
He had lots of other people excited to meet him too! Emma was a little disappointed he wasn't a girl, but then she saw how little and cute he was and fell in love.
His Aunt Amelia helped get him here and was excited to hold him. Big Brother wanted in on the action too!
Meeting Grammy!
And just today he got to meet some of his great grandparents!
Great Grandma and Grandpa Garrett
We're home now and getting use to being a family of five! Luckily, Grammy's here to help for a while and so far its been a fairly smooth transition. Talk to me in a month and bring some coffee!
