He was born at 7:15 AM on Mother's Day.

My wife Cornelia delivered him at home as planned. As we expected, he was a big one, weighing in at 11lbs. 4ozs. That was the exact same weight as his next oldest brother Lucas.

We haven't given him a name yet, and probably won't for several more days. There are two names right now in the running, and we're waiting to see which suits him the best.

Both he and Cornelia are doing great.

We had two midwives plus Cornelia's sister who is an obstetric nurse as her main support, plus her other two sisters and her grown niece. The baby's brothers and other cousins were there as well.

I'll try to post some more photos later. Need to edit an appropriate set together.

Congrats Don and Cornelia...beautiful baby! How soon will you be getting him a bike?

Perhaps you could name him "Ironman"! No, I guess not. That wouldn't go over well in my house either!

Congratulations!! What a wonderful Mother's Day! I had all 4 of my babies with midwives, 3 at home, and they were all 10+ pounds (the largest was 11lbs).
Your baby is absolutely angelic. Ahh, new babies...

LOL!!! Oh man, what would ya'll come up with. May have to try it.

Let's see... he was a little blue when he was first born... then kinda red for the first 36 hours... now he's a bit yellow which I think is the fastest color... (no worries about the yellow, it's under control)

Gosh, I don't know about having a kid named something like Jack the Speed Machine, or my son Mountain Masher. Hmm...
