Nico's family

Here we are in our HUGE room at Abbott Northwestern. Our friend Beth took this photo. We didn't get a picture of her holding Nico, but she was very excited for us and has been a great friend in supporting us these last 10 months. Although Daddy is in fact about twice as big as Mama, we didn't position ourselves well for proportions in this photo with big Daddy up front so I look at least 3 or 4 times bigger than I actually am.

Look at my wife! She looks like she got back from a bike ride around the lakes.

We finally got Nico weighed about two hours after he was born. We chatted with Nurse Kelly and Midwife Lois as we all took a guess: Daddy thought 6 pounds 8 ounces (because that's what Midwife Mary Wood told us a few weeks ago), Lois thought about 7 pounds and Kelly thought closer to 8 and then she backed off to 7.5 pounds.
7 pounds 14.6 ounces! That's like 8.4% of Molly's pre-pregnancy weight. He wasn't "Molly-sized" as Mary Wood thought he would be, he was closer to Stephen's 8 pounds 8 1/2 ounces when he was born.
Clearly, Molly deserves all the glory here and she delivered with grace and grit all through the process.
