WILLIAM HARPER ELMS
"I'm free!"
Here he is! Everything happened so fast--the planned-for induction and epidural never made it into the picture. Instead, when the doctor started the initial examination, we had water breakage and then, thirty minutes later, baby Will was born, healthy and whole.
Here are the stats, in full: born at 10:08am on December 23, weighing in at 6 lbs. 10 oz., and with a length of 19.5 in.
Dressed in a little sweater the German hospital provided
Also dressed in an outfit the hospital provided (with his tongue out--apparently he doesn't dig the clothes OR the pink blankie).
All of us together on the night after the delivery (Mommy's radiant, Ellie's sporting her rain boots, Will's hiding, and Daddy's sporting his nice hat hair/travel beard combo).
We want to thank everyone for their prayers, love, and support. More pictures are forthcoming!

And you're so lucky..I've been pushing for the name Will this time Aaron keeps brushing it off. I love his name!

MIke and I send our huge CONGRATS!!!! He looks happy and healthy! I'm glad everyone is doing well.
Oh- and Mike is jealous of the name. He wanted to name our boy "william". I just couldn't do it with the last name goates. You know, billy goates, and all.
A big, baby-boy-blue congratulations to you! Sounds like William was a perfect delivery :-)
PS: Tell Ellie I love her galoshes.
Oh CONGRATULATIONS! You looked very, very happy in your picture, much happier than most women right after they give birth. I wish I could hug you.
Congratulations! We're so happy he's here, and that you're all healthy and well. What a beautiful little baby! And HELLO... what a radiant and glowing mama! Love you and looking forward to more pics!
