Joseph Allan McCabe - 05/26/09

Denise is not writing this post as usual. Kevin is. Denise deserves a break. She was outstanding in giving birth to our second child and first son. His first name comes from my father who died about 2 1/2 years ago. His middle name is from his other grandfather. He is a huge child. He is 9 lbs, 2 oz., 21+ inches long. I think Daphne was a couple months old before reaching that size.

I am not sure what we will call him. My dad went by Joe. Denise and my mom seem partial to Joey (how YOU doin'). I kind of like Joe-Mama, but I may change my mind.

We arrived at the hospital between 7-8 am on 5/26 and he was born at 10:33 am. We came home at 6:00 pm the next day. Most importantly, everyone is doing well. Mom and baby are checking out fine.

Here is his first pic:
Some pics with family:

Mom (isn't she beautiful)

Dad (not bad either)

Grandmas


Unfortunately, Grandpa was home in Cleveland but will arrive this weekend.

Aunt Kim

Etc:

Daphne and Joseph exchanged gifts. Joseph got Daphne stickers of Curious George because that is what she wanted to name the new baby. Daphne got Joseph a ballon and cake courtesy of my mom and a blue bib Daphne picked out (although she really wanted to get a pink one for him). They each got Big Sister/Little Brother outfits.

Daphne also got him a book which she read to him.
