Torin Mattias Frazier is here!

Sorry this took so long to post! I didn't realize it was still a draft, awaiting photos!

Our beautiful boy has arrived! Torin is a big boy, weighing in at 9lbs 9 ounces and measuring 21" long!! Crazy! I knew I was bigger than with Keely as my belly button popped out this time around and I was a little nervous that the two week course of prednisone for my asthma flare this past month was going to bulk up the baby too. He looks just like Keely did as a newborn but has a head of strawberry blonde hair (which I predicted, based on my terrible heartburn). He's also super strong--when the pediatrician was examining him while he was on his tummy, Torin lifted his head up and looked around...the doctor was like "ummm...he shouldn't be able to do that yet" and was quite surprised! The surgery went really well, and although we got bumped for an emergency case I still "got" the anesthesiologist that I requested. Torin is healthy and nursing fantastically. Our friend Mike lent us his awesome digital SLR camera so we've been taking lots of pics, hopefully to uploaded to our flickr account soon, so keep checking! Keely pretty much ignored me and Torin yesterday and wouldn't let me hold her :( although I think she was pretty overwhelmed by a roomful of people (over 6 visitors), a new place, and just waking up from a nap. This afternoon when she visited she at least gave me a kiss, though wouldn't sit next to me, so we're making progress :)

thanks heidi!it's hard to say who he looks like, but i think i'm leaning towards eric--keely definitely looks more like her daddy. yep, lots of strawberry blonde hair which i expected--i had terrible heartburn (an old wives tale...)!

angie--fun to see you guys, albeit briefly. i hope all is well!
