Baby Bryce is born

From Jeff (because Amy is currently tired and nursing Bryce)

We are excited to let you know that Bryce William came into this world early Tuesday morning (3:34 am to be exact) weighing a solid 8 lbs. and 7 oz. He measured 20.75 inches long. Amy was admitted to the hospital late Monday afternoon after her morning doctor's visit which showed her at 4cm. Because of more consistent contractions, they told her to go to the hospital and start monitoring. After some very long walks she progressed to 5cm and our room was booked ... we were staying for Bryce's eventual arrival.

She can fill you in on the details later - after a couple hours of pushing (he definitely wanted to come out on his terms) Bryce arrived with a head full of dark hair. No complications, just a long day and night. We were transferred to the post-partum room around 6:30am and finally got to sleep a little that morning.

Amy's parents brought Landon to meet his new baby brother Tuesday afternoon. Landon was so excited when he walked through the door. He immediately wanted to touch him and hug on him. It was a very sweet moment that we'll all remember.


Bryce is a healthy eater and sleeper. He really has the calm temperment like Landon did as a baby (we hope that continues). He has pretty good lungs when he's hungry and/or cold, so he lets us know about that, but he quickly calms down. We're not sure yet who he really looks like, but each hour he looks more and more like Landon did, so we'll go with that for now.

So, we'll head for home Thursday morning and start life as the Wood foursome. Should be interesting but we think we're ready. God has blessed us with two beautiful boys and we're looking forward to them growing up together. Thanks for the many prayers and warm wishes. Amy will return to normal blogging very soon -- actually her blogging will probably pick up since she's off work for a while. I've enjoyed my time here on this blog, but I shall retire at the top of my game. Thank you and good night from the Woods!!
