Introducing Grady James Lehman

Grady James Lehman

Born September 10, 2008 at 4:54pm

8lbs 12.4 ounces 21.3 inches long

Momma did awesome during delivery and she is recovering now at home with the baby and the daddy. she is sore but doing well. so far Grady's favorite things are: sleeping, eating, pooping, peeing when is diaper is removed, and being uncontrollably cute. Grady is breastfeeding about every 2 hours now which means momma only gets about an hour of sleep at a time but she is amazing and has not complained at all. She loves her baby boy and will do anything for him! we are all very blessed and thankful for a healthy baby, safe delivery with no complications, and loving family for support.

in case you can't read his little shirt it says "I'm kind of a big deal"

here is Grady on his first day home. uncle bobby got a few nice pictures of him with his eyes open, which doesn't happen very often. good job to aunt danielle for holding him and pinching him on the leg until he woke up.(kidding)

my new favorite picture in the world

this is my new favorite picture ever taken in the world. Grady is about 3 minutes old and when everyone sees this picture they see his little hand gripping my finger with all his strength. when i see this picture i see my boy holding my heart and gripping with all his strength! I love you soo much Grady James! i will always love you and give you my best. i will teach you everything i know and you will know love. you will know true love, the love of Father and son. i will not spoil you with everything you want in life but i will do my best to make sure you have everything you need! you are loved by so many people starting with Mommy and daddy!

thank you!

thank you to everyone who came to the hospital to support Melissa, Grady and i on our big day! thank you to everyone pictured and everyone not pictured who came and to those who couldn't come but supported us in spirit and prayer! i was so proud of our family i could burst. our family filled the waiting area on a very busy day for the hospital and I'm sure the other families there were amazed at how many people showed up to love Grady and Momma! this picture was early in the day and i think at one point we had about 20 people out there waiting. awesome!

lately,

lately we've been waiting for the baby to come and he isn't here yet. on the bright side we went to the doctor's office and they decided if she didn't go into labor today or Tuesday they will induce her into labor on Wednesday September 10th. everyone is hoping for her to go into labor on her own before that, everyone except Mom. Mom wants her to wait for the 10th so she can have a grand baby for a birthday present. she won't admit it but i know she's hoping for the 10th! at any rate, he won't be here soon enough and i can't wait to put his picture up here for the whole world to see!
