Huge update on our family...We are now the happy family of four. Bryce Anthony was born Wed, June 30th at 2:50 pm after Jamie was induced that morning. He weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces and is 20 inches long. It was an amazing delivery with labor lasting about 8 hours. Jamie had an epidural and the process was relatively pain free for her. We had a very close family/work friend Phylis present for support during the entire day of our induction. We had the whole day of talking and joking around, guessing weights, times and so forth on the new delivery. The epidural worked so well that we were joking and laughing throught the entire delivery process. Jamie is feeling great and recooperating well at home, the proud mother of 2 precious boys now. Bryce is an angel. We are not sure yet, but he is looking more like mom than anyone else so far. He sleeps well at night and is a very good eater. We came home Thursday evening and had our first night together as a family. Benjamin is already the best big brother ever. He has given lots of kisses to Bryce and wants to hold his hand every chance he gets. Benjamin got to hang out with Aunt Ashley during the birth and had an awesome time with her. He hasn't quite figured out the new baby yet though, because today was the first time he heard Bryce cry and Ben looked amazed that such a small being could be as loud as himself. He has already helped in diaper changes trying to help daddy wipe the baby. Richard was so anxious and worried at the delivery because things went so well that he thought it was all to good to be true. After Bryce was born, Richard was the most relieved proud daddy a person could be. The first words that came out of Richards mouth were "he is so cute" and "Mommy, you are so hot" (Richard was so estatic that he was flirting with mom right away. Everyone thought Richard's reaction was to cute for words. Bryce already seems to be fond of daddy the most. He will stop anything he is doing if Richard is talking just to listen to his voice and look for daddy. We are relaxing at home, just finished eating a great home cooked meal from family friends June, Tess, their kids and mother, which was much appreciated and enjoyed. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support through this life changing blessing. We will continue to keep you updated as time goes on. For now we are all going to kick back and relax for the time being. Thank you to everyone again.
Richard, Jamie, Benjamin, and Bryce Pacetes.
