Finally!

He's here!!!!


We are so excited to introduce you to Cole Steven Thomsen.
He was born on October 9th at 4:40pm.

He weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and measured 21 inches long.

With 53 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing, and the use of forceps, Mom is pretty tired and sore but so happy that he made his arrival healthy and well. Dad is just happy it's all over! Here are some pictures of our new little cutie.

He is beautiful! I'm so glad you are all doing well. What is with the 53 hours of labor?! I'm sorry you had to go through that. At least it is over now.

Andrea said...

Yeah! Congratulations! I have been thinking about you this past week and am so glad that you are all well. The little guy is sooo cute. Get some much needed rest!

Oh my goodness- I sure love him a lot already. I have a feeling we are going to be great buddies.

He is so adorable! Just think, now you can always hold your difficult labor story over his head whenever he is naughty.

Congratulations! Your parents look almost happier than you two :) Sounds like we have similar labor stories. Must be a boy thing. They have bigger heads. He sure is adorable!

Be still my heart...could he be any sweeter? He is absolutely beautiful and perfect and handsome and adorable, etc., etc., etc.

I'm so sorry about your ridiculously long labor/delivery. Maybe recovery will be a breeze for you after that!

I heard you hurt your back. Sheesh! I'm so sorry. I know Bryce has the week off, but I'd love to come and help you after he goes back to work. Even if I can just come and sit with the baby for a couple of hours so that you can nap. Let me know if you need anything. I'm so happy for you and Bryce. You will be amazing parents.

Can't wait to meet little Cole.

Congrats you two! He is verry cute. I am excited to see him soon. How lucky he is to have you guys as parents and I am sure he will get all the love he needs from you two, and extra from his Grandparents who will spoil him rotten! Enjoy him while he is young they grow up way to fast!!

Congrats on your adorable baby! He is too cute. Almost makes me consider maybe thinking about possibly wanting another one someday. I cannot believe your labor was so long! I don't think I've ever heard of such a LONG labor. How miserable. Glad to see everyone is doing well and healthy!

He's such a cutie! Congrats! That's an awesome day to have a birthday--John Lennon and my sister were both born on Oct 9th. Sorry to hear about the long labor. Glad you're all home and sounds like doing well. I hope to meet him sometime soon...you have a wonderful family!
