Family of Four!

We are now officially a family of four! Baby Cole arrived on Friday, February 26th at 8:25pm weighing in at 9lbs and 22.5 inches long! Without going into too many details, he came really quickly and easily! He is healthy and beautiful! But none of my new born shoes are going to fit!!! I thought that possibly his feet might be smaller than Taylor's but nope, they are bigger! Or I should say, longer. :) He has very long "piano" fingers and the debate right now is that he might be more Anderson than Henderson. I personally think he is a mixture but of course, over the next few weeks, he is going to change and change and change! So I think we should probably wait it out a while before we make the call! :) He took to a pacifier and bottle immediately which has been wonderful!
Saturday we were visited by so many friends and family which truly made the day special for us! Everyone was so very thoughtful and kind to welcome Baby Cole like that and we appreciate and love them so much! The day passed by way too quickly....
Sunday brought another beautiful day and more rest with Mom and Dad Henderson staying til we were discharged to help us get home.
The one thing that I have to say about this whole wonderful life experience is that I LOVE my hospital! I couldn't have asked for better staff, for better care, for better medical expertise! Each and every nurse that we had was kind and thoughtful and by the time we left on Sunday night we had three nurses (not including the one discharging us) coming to our room to say goodbye. Let's just say, next week when we have our first doctor's appointment, we are taking cookies and a thank you card over to them because it was the most wonderful experience!
