It's a Beautiful Baby Boy!

James Patrick Semyck

(note: his head was so big that the normal sock hats they use didn't fit. So, they had to search for a larger one for our "quarterback" as they called him)

Born at 10:50 pm on Wednesday August 5, 2009

(Can you believe he actually arrived ON his due date!)

at Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston, MO

Head: 14 3/4" Chest 14 1/2"

Length: 21" Weight: 8 lb 15 oz

(they got him on the scale just after he had pee'd and pooh'd I'm sure he would have weighed in at over 9 lbs other wise)

Going home weight: 8lb 7oz

Labor... with my favorite 'nurse in training'

Left to right: Mommy, Dr. Patricia (Tricia) Benoist, Babies Nurse~ Sandy, Mommies Nurse~ Lacey, and the main attraction: Baby James in the warmer

Nurse or is it Dr? Miranda

Getting ready to go home the afternoon of Friday August 7th

A momment of peace. He is a very active nurser and doesn't allow much in the way of sleep.

Getting changed to come home.

When I saw this picture on the screen I couldn't believe how he looked just like his older brothers. Robert looked just like this at one month old!

Big brother Robert helping out with his car seat straps while Miranda puts her two cents in.

Jacob isn't all that interested..... at least not yet

Home at last!
