He's Here!

On Thursday, October 13th, exactly 6 days late, our amazing bundle of love and sunshine arrived.  After a quick and fairly textbook delivery, we were blessed with Nathaniel Jackson Sechrest.  He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz, and was 19 inches long.  He was a superstar from the very beginning with 9's on his apgar scores and a healthy cry and great color right from the get-go.  He is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen with his big eyes and perfect face.  I know that every mom says this, but I have a host of doctors, nurses, and visitors who can back me up; plus, photo evidence.  He is now 11 days old and is a total champ.  He eats, sleeps, poops, pees, and burps like it's his job, and right now it is.  I'm sure when he gets older he will be rolling his eyes and saying "oh mom" all the time because I just can't stop looking at him and singing to him and kissing his adorable little face and hands and toes.  It was absolutely love at first sight for both me and Nate.  Prepare yourselves for our world now to revolve around Jackson.  And just look at the kid... tell me you could resist...
