Mmmm, hospital food!

I'm home and not a moment too soon--we came home just in time for me to miss my hand-delivered dinner of reconstituted meat product, vegetable issue & dried dinner crumb. What always strikes me as ironic is how good that first meal right after delivery tastes... Maybe that's a side-effect of an epidural? :) Anyway, here are the stats on our frog prince and a couple pics:
Name: David Lloyd Hansen (named after our fathers), to be called Dade. (We came across this nickname when reading about David O. McKay earlier this summer.)
Born: Monday, Sept 14th at 12:38pm
Weight at birth: 9lbs, no oz
Length: 20.75"
Dark, soft hair, blue eyes that may well go brown.
Looks a lot like a mix of Dh & I both, but has Derek's physique (yay, another star athlete!)

We tossed around the name Worf (this one is for you, Dad).
The in-flight entertainment.
I'll post a few more w/the other girls, but I'm getting dopey now...

Congratulations! 9 lbs! That's more than my 2 boys combined, and my belly was massive. I feel for you. :) Dade's a lucky little boy, and a very handsome fella.
