Introducing...

The newest band member Twain Orion!



Weighing in at exactly 7 pounds and measuring 19 inches. We think he looks just like Calvin Jack with his chubby cheeks.

The C-Section was traumatizing and horrifying. But as soon as I held my little Twain, all the problems magically disappeared.



Sorry for the delay in blogging but there wasn't any internet connection at the hospital. We should be home in a couple of days so hopefully these pictures will tide you over until then.



We are quite smitten with our baby Twain and think he is the perfect encore to our little band of brothers.

    Oh those cheeks! What a honey pot! :)
    Sorry to hear you had a rough time of it with your surgery! So scary! It's been almost 6 years since my last of 2 and I can still remember the anxiousness it brings!
    I'll be praying for a speedy safe recovery for you!

    Congratulations!!! I will have you know that I was starting to get ready for bed, and then I realized "It's the 30th!!" so I ran down the hall to the office like a madwoman so that I could see if you had posted. I am sure that Jeremy is still wondering what made me fly like that. ;-P

    Davi, I am so happy for all of you! He is absolutely beautiful and precious, and he fits perfectly. God has blessed you richly in allowing you to be the mommy of four amazing little boys. And I love his name!

    I'm sorry about the awful c-section, and I will be praying for your recovery.
