Anderson is here!

The Barfield babies just love to arrive fashionably late. Anderson finally arrived (11 days late) on Monday, September 20, 2010 at 4:40 pm. Anderson William Barfield is named after his dad and grandfather (Frederick Anderson II & III) and Cara's dad (Jon William). I was scheduled to be induced on Monday but my water broke at 1 am on Monday morning and we were at the hospital several hours later because of very close contractions. After a very rough labor and delivery, Anderson was born weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. We are thrilled he is finally here! It has been a crazy couple of days because Anderson was kept in the ICU an additional day because they wanted to watch him after breathing/mucus issues because of the very stressful delivery. We came home yesterday, September 23 and Papa and G were here from Colorado to welcome us home! Elle really loves Anderson, although she is experiencing a bit of a rough time because of the change (she is very needy and easily upset). Anderson is a good eater and sleeper and we have our fingers crossed that he will keep this up and be a laid back baby!

Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers. We are amazingly blessed and thank you all for your love!
