There's a new McAfee in town!!!

I will let you oogle over the pictures first!!!! Here is one of his first after he got his clothes on!!! Heather said no naked baby pictures on the blog!!!! Weighing in at 7 1/2 pounds, Heather is glad she didn't have to wait the three weeks until his due date to deliver when he would have been around 9 lbs!!!

Benjamin's first close up!!!! Yes he does have hair, it is not as dark as Caleb's and not as blond as Karis'.

Hey there big sis!!!!

Yo!!! What's up big bro!!!!!

AAAHHH Dad's chest, nice and comfy!!!!

o.k. now for the story. We got up early 5:45am to get to the hospital to start the process of delivering the baby. I (Mike) had a head first run in with the shower wall (concrete) that nearly ended my day, but I was determined to not let a concussion slow me down. So off we went to the hospital for the induction of labor. However, when we got to the hospital we had to wait for them to finish cleaning the room. Yeah, it's Africa!!! They started the pitocin about 8:30 that morning and things seemed to progress well, slow but well. Things got a little complicated around noon when the baby's heart rate unexpectedly dropped and scared us to death. However the Dr., who by the way is a great Dr., came immediately and gave some fluids and the heart rate picked back up. around 3:15 Heather had progressed enough and the Dr. and nurses started preparing for the baby to come. at 3:30 the Dr. asked Heather if she could push and she did, but she didn't stop as she pushed the baby right on out with her first real push!!! All the Dr. and all the nurses were amazed that she was able to do it that fast and push for that long. anyway, I cut the chord and the baby was happy. He even started nursing right away without any problems!!! Heather and the baby are resting comfortably!!! Thank you all for your prayers during the last few weeks. We really felt the prayer support!!!
