It's a BOY!!!!

I am wondering if you are all as shocked as I am!!! I still can't believe it....

Elliott John Cook was born yesterday, March 6 at 10:17 a.m. He was 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 inches long. So far, he is a pretty chill baby. He spent most of the day sleeping after his circumcision this morning and is now making up for that by being wide awake at 10:30 p.m.! Greg and I feel soooo blessed by his arrival. I highly recommend waiting to find out the sex of your baby if you have the chance. It was amazing to hear the words "It's a boy"!!! It was worth every ounce of impatience on my part over the last 9 months.

Maggie loves her little brother. She was a little intimidated yesterday when she saw me in the hospital bed hooked up to the i.v. She refused to get in bed with me or hug me. Today when she came up, she did a little better and was really loving on Elliott. I think they will be good buds! Here are a few pictures to get you started....

I love the last picture, although Maggie looks a little suspicious! I hope recovery is going well and you are getting a little bit of rest!
