baby bentley is here!

bentley cole bailey arrived at 3:44 p.m. on july 20. he weighed in at a perfect 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. he was perfectly pink! :) he really is just a cute little guy! we can see a combination of the girls when we look at him, but he is completely his own little person!


we had a great labor experience . . . awesome nurses (we really loved them - where were they the first 3 times?), a perfect epidural (took the edge off, but i could still feel everything), and a relatively easy delivery (bentley was waiting for the dr. when he came in the door!).

the belly shot! 6:30 a.m. . . . heading to the hospital to meet baby b!

first picture with mom and dad - just minutes after his arrival!

bentley really enjoyed his first bath . . . seriously, he loved when the nurse held him under the faucet to rinse his hair . . . he may be a "spa" guy! :) he was in heaven laying on the warmer under some warm blankets - just taking it all in!

laying on the warmer! all clean and dressed after my bath!

the girls came up with grammy, grampy, and sarah in the late evening. ken was so excited to see him and wanted to hold him right away - after giving me several hugs and kisses! (she was soooo affectionate!) mck was very interested in checking him out but wasn't sure if she wanted to sit with me or hold the baby. she holds him for a second or two and then gives him back! kam was all about checking out bentley's parts . . . "him have eyes like me! him have a nose like me! him a baby like me!" very cute. she wants to touch him . . . a lot - and is gentle - in her own way! :)

"him have toes like me!"

we feel so lucky to have our little guy here. our family really feels complete! seems like we waited a long time to meet him . . . it's hard to believe he is here!

cuddling with mommy! our little guy!
