The day before Amanda was born we were treated to great views of Boston. Those are Geese swimming by in the Charles River with Boston's skyline in the background.

Just born! Amanda is handed to dad (who didn't pass out!). You can't see it but I'm grinning in there somewhere. Jen took the worst of it, enduring labor for many hours, followed by a C-Section. All worth it though, judging by the result- everyone healthy and happy. (8/15 5:40 am)

Little Amanda was:
Born: 5:20 am, August 15, 2003
Wieghed: 7lbs, 2.5oz
Length: 20.5"

Amanda!

Jake meets Amanda. He's now a big brother!

 

Jake, Jen, Amanda: all smiles. Make that all smiles, one sleeping.

 

Grandmommy Jen Howard gets her first look.
Jake gets a chance to hold his new baby sister. Note the 6-year-old big boy hair style and missing teeth. He has seen too much Billly Idol already!  

Mom is feeling much better. Tired, but much better.

Mom feels well enough to play with Amanda's itty bitty feet.

And finally, Amanda is home in the bassinet given to her by her Grandma Jo-Anne. This bassinet was used for Jen and her brother and sister, Jen's cousins on her mom's side, and her sister Audrey used it for her daughters Jessica and Stephanie.

Let the journey begin.
