Jack Sterling

August first finally arrived after a seemingly endless, hot summer. And we were very excited to welcome Jack Sterling Humphrey into the world. He was born at 7:54 am weighing a giant 8lbs and 20 1/2 inches long. He has stolen the hearts of not only his parents but most of the nurses as well. He does remind us of his older sister but still not sure the answer to the "who does he look like" question. The best word to describe this boy: mellow. He has been calm and relaxed from the start. During his first bath, he didn't make one peep and just laid there checking things out. He's got so much dark dark hair ... his Papa is a little jealous.

Amelia seems to be doing ok with it all and seems more excited about getting to spend the night with grandparents and cousins. She seemed a little concerned and thrown off by the condition of Mom. But we've     had some sweet moments hanging out in bed together. She even wanted to get a bracelet to match mom, dad and baby jack.

Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. We are all doing pretty good and looking forward to what lines ahead.  Here are some pictures of our monkey man.

big sister!
