After 40 long weeks, we welcomed Mitchell Harris into the world on April 4th at 6:22 am. Our little guy weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. So far he's taken pleasure in the usual newborn activities of eating, sleeping and pooping and is pretty much a contented snuggle-bug.
Nearly one week into our newest adventure, Steve and I have been faring well with sleep deprivation and managing the demands of a toddler, a newborn, a slightly crazy dog and a cantankerous cat. Finally meeting Mitchell makes the exhaustion a bit more tolerable but the spring-like weather and sunshine helps too!
Big brother, Owen, was a little unsure of baby Mitchell at first but his loving and compassionate nature has really been apparent. Perhaps the Owen-sized Darth Vader, a present from Daddy (I mean Mitchell), helped sweeten the deal.
Owen spiked a temperature the day that Mitchell was born so we've been trying to keep him away from his little brother; a tall order for an inquisitive two-year old. Anyway, here's our first picture of the Linker brothers!
Cute? Forget About It...
