    It's A Boy ! ! ! ! !

    Just quickly wanted to share with my extended family that I had a HEALTHY little boy Friday at 10:54 am, weighing in at 7 pounds 9 ounces, 20 inches long, and we named him Nicholas. We are all doing fine, my 5 and 4 year old are great with him, my 2 year old is jealous. OK, he's crying now, I will post a picture in all my spare time. HA HA
    Love to you all
