Time flies!

It's hard to believe but Shepherd has been with us for 12 days now and we love our new little guy! We couldn't ask for a sweeter baby! He is a very sleepy guy and has only given us one sleepless night so far - how wonderful! We were blessed to have visitors from both sides of the family to stay with us during Shep's first week. We are especially grateful for my mom - Gigi - for her help around the house that first week. Tim has returned to work now and it's just me, Shep, and Bea holding down the fort during the days. Well, I'm sure that's enough talking for now and I'll get to the real reason that people are reading this: pictures!

Hey! This is Tim.

I'm writing this update because Megan is busy feeding our brand new baby boy! We had quite an eventful past few days for sure. Shepherd decided to wake Megan up at 3am on Friday morning with some intense contractions. We headed to the hospital at about 10 am and were sent back home in shame by noon. We headed over to my office where my wonderful co-workers threw us a beautiful baby shower that we almost didn't get to attend. After the shower, we went home and at 3pm, Megan's contractions shortened to about every 7-10 minutes and got much more painful. We didn't want to jump the gun again, so we waited at home till 8pm, when we headed back to the hospital. This time they kept us and after a long night of labor, Shepherd David Kempe was born at 7:44 am on 7/10/2010. He weighs 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and is 21 inches long. Take a look at some pictures!
