A grand introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Degory Edward Valentine Jr. I was born at 5:50 on Thursday morning after mom checked into the hospital on Monday night to be induced because I was 12 days overdue (my mom won't go into details, but I was taking my sweet time). I am 20.5 inches long and at birth I was 6.86 pounds. My mom and my dad are pretty dang excited to have me here. I am pretty adorable. You'll be hearing more about me soon, but I wanted to introduce myself. So, hello - it's nice to meet you!



(Edit - my mom can't count. I was 13 days overdue. Maybe she was trying to forget how much FUN she had being pregnant, especially those last two bonus weeks. You are SO welcome, mommy dearest!)

Oh my!! Congrats on the cute new addition. I didn't even know that you were expecting. I saw his cute little face on FB and was wondering if maybe you posted something about it on this blog (that's why I'm so late, sorry). I hope you all are doing great and getting a few hours of sleep. Good luck and congrats again!!!!
