Samuel Vincent

Born:  March 12, 2009 at 3:43 am (2 1/2 weeks early after less than three hours of labor and just about 40 minutes after we arrived in the hospital)

Weight:  6 lbs 13 oz

Length:  19 in

Healthy and Perfect.

Sophia is a great big sister.  She really has shocked us with her level of excitement and maturity in both language and action surrounding all things “baby brother” or “baby boy”.  When we ask her what his name is she says, “Boy”.   He was finally given his name yesterday after a few days of trying on different ones for size.

Here is a video of Sophia meeting him for the first time.

I will write soon about our amazing birth adventure.  Man, you all weren’t kidding when you said the second one would be totally different.

    I think I have a crush on Rob after watching that video. Which is only fair, since I was already in love with the rest of you. Congrats, beautiful Bookish.

    Congratulations to the Bookish Family!! Samuel is so precious, and Sophia is adorable. Reminds me so much of the two similar introductions in our family — almost 18 years since the last. Some of those moments live forever. Mwah. Much love to you all.

    Congrats to you all! How wonderful, and how sweet he looks. Sophia will make an excellent big sister. I loved watching her gently caress his head. A co-worker of my husband’s had her son on Friday, and his name is also Sam! Must be the cool name to have ;-)

    Take care, and I’m looking forward to seeing more pics!

    OMG, Sophia is so adorable! I think she wants Samuel Vincent to grow up, so she can have a play buddy! Also, obviously v. concerned about overheating: hat had to come off! Haha! Congratulations!!! Beautiful name! I guess you decided having two children whose names start with S is okay after all?
