Baby brother....

From Papa: William Baker Wallace, 8 pounds 13 oz. and 22" long.  Born Medical University of South Carolina at 1:53 today.  Mother and baby doing fine.

Since the little guy was about a week late they induced labor.  When one of the nurses looked under the sheet and said it was time to get to work I ran like hell for the waiting room.  Forty five minutes later I was invited back for a visit and by then Bobo was washed up, dressed up, open eyed and plugged in for his first meal.  The kid can eat. This picture was taken when he was less than one hour old and right after the toes and fingers count--10 each.  Tomorrow he gets the old cut pee pee trick and comes on home and meets his older brother.  We're all excited and thankful for a health baby.

Rhianna, how are you doing? Jennifer is busy but happy, I'd love for Jack to meet Simon..it would be hoot.

We're doing great, I'm so glad that everything went well and can't wait to see more pics of the little man. We're heading your way April 21st, or the week thereof, hopefully we can catch up then I think the boys would have a blast! All the best to your family and congrats on the new grandson.

Jennifer has your visit on her calender and will email you soon. These kids really should see each other! Since Jennifer is off till mid-June we're flexible. We talk about Simon to Jack a lot. Little Baker looks just like Jack at that age.

No hurray on the email, I'm sure she's busy, I will email her before we head out, would you guys be interested in coming to Myrtle Beach?? There's a great water park for the boys right there that might be fun. Depending on how Jennifer feels about traveling, we can play it by ear! He does look a ton like Jack, I can't wait to see more pics.

We'll work on it. Where are you staying in Myrtle Bch? Might get a room and spend the night?

Rhianna said...

No need for a room, just stay with us! We have a 3 BR condo at Kingston Plantation, and really are a the more the merrier crew. We'll have an extra room and would love to have you guys stay with us. My folks are coming too and would love to meet you all. Tons of fun, right on the beach with pools and the water park too! Talk with Jennifer, when she;s up for planning and see what you guys think.

I think Jennifer's mom, Dolly, want to come along. I'm thinking Jennifer and one of the boys can camp in your spare room, Dolly and I can get a room near your place? The funny thing is we just now figured out it's going to be a challenge to get two kid seats and 3 adults in one car...but we'll manage.

That sounds good, I will email Jennifer details, but really there's an embassy suites right there on Kingston Plantation where we are so that would probably work out well. How's the little guy?
