Wesley Scott Need

Our son was born this morning at 3:20am, after only one hour and 45 minutes of labor. At birth, Wesley weighed 7 lbs, 8oz and was 20 inches long. He is beautiful and healthy, and is currently fast asleep in his mother's arms. We will post pictures later.

The evening was winding down uneventfully. Denise has just stepped out of the shower and was getting ready for bed when her water broke. After a quick call to her mom, and then to a neighbor to babysit until Grandma arrived, we headed to the hospital.

The contractions were pretty mild when we checked in, and they stayed like that for an hour or so. Then they began to increase in intensity, and Denise was able to deliver after only pushing three times.

Denise and I are so happy to welcome Wesley Scott Need into the world. His two older sisters will wake up tomorrow to meet the little brother we have been talking about for so long. Our family is now complete.
