Reed Joseph Barton has arrived!!!

My water broke Sunday night at 9:30 and little Reed was born at 5:38 am on Monday morning. We just can't stop watching all is little facial expressions. He just smiles and gurgles and is such a sweet, mellow baby. We're just waiting for his lungs to kick in...
Our brand new addition - we aren't just a couple any more!
Minutes old Reed with our OB - Dr. Macy.
7 pounds 6 ounces - 20 ionches!
So happy to finally be able to hold him.
Reeds first bath. Basking under the warm sun lamps.
All clean.

Mom getting to hold her clean little boy. He smells so good.

Brent studying for his upcoming Series 7 exam - telling Reed all about stocks.
Mom and Reed are ready to go home!
The Barton Family getting ready to leave hospital and go home.
First night home. Poor little guy has sensitive skin. His eyes swelled from the ointment they put on them right fter birth and the harsh hospital detergent they use on the shirts and blankets made his whole little body red and splotchy. We would have brought our own stuff if we'd known...

At home with his own hat and blankets, the rash is already going away.

He is BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations to you both! I can't believe I was so off - I somehow had it in my mind that he was due in November but oh well at least he is here now. Congratulations again, I am so happy for you! ;)
