Well, we are officially a family of four. William (Wil) Brooks Roberts joined our family on Friday May 8th, and 11:52 am. He weighed in at 8 Lbs 7 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. The whole process took about 12 hours from start to finish, and went very smoothly. I'm definitely glad it's over, and to have him here safe and sound. Here's a really long post with lots of pictures of the past few days.The last pregnant pose. This was just hours before going to the hospital. Can't say I'm not happy to be done being pregnant.
This picture marks the last moments of it just being Beckett and I. I love this boy so much and am excited to see him as a great big brother.
Right before putting Beckett to bed we tried one last time to help Beckett understand how his world was going to change by reading him this book. Not sure it helped, but we tried.
And finally, what you've all been waiting for, here are pictures of the little man. These first few were taken just after he arrived.
Proud Papa
Beckett came in to meet Baby Wil in the hospital, and it was really sweet. Although, at first he kept asking what Baby Ana (one of his friends' little sisters) was doing...I think we've finally gotten past that. He's pretty excited to meet his little brother, (or at least to be poking him).
We left the hospital as soon as they'd let us go, and these were taken as we left.Changing into the going home outfit, which he wore for about 3 hours, until he peed all over it.
Nathan thought he looked like he was breaking out of jail. 
And this last one shows how Beckett is warming up to Wil. Last night as I was feeding him he came and sat next to me and just wanted to watch Baby Brother. It was very sweet.
So, there it is. Life is good and I'm feeling well. Nathan headed back to work today, and doing it by myself for the first time was a success. We'll see how these next few weeks play out. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
