Well, it was a storied event, yet again. The birth of our new son, Ian Joseph. He was born on 12/5/2009, weighed 8lbs 7oz, and was 21.5″ long. He is an excellent nurser and loves to look around and put his hands in his mouth. Labor was on-and-off since Monday 11/30/2009, but never really took off. Then there were some really strange pains Kristi had that led us to the hospital with a “typical” medicated birth. Though the labor was not fun at all, there were some heart problems Kristi had, and the anti-nausea meds didn’t work, Ian came out great and we are so very happy he’s here. The picture below is the best picture I can get at this time with my iPhone. More will follow I’m sure.
Hey, look at me. I'm cute as heck!

Well, we have some good news today. We are expecting a baby, due date sometime in November!! Kristi had noticed in the past couple weeks things were changing here-and-there. Dreams about babies, Gabby has been nursing like crazy, etc. So, today she decided to try a pregnancy test. I didn’t know she was taking the test, I was the only one at the dinner table finishing up with Gabby and her refried bean mess, and Kristi comes out of the bathroom holding a pee-stick, saying, “Well, I’m pregnant!”. But, just like every pregnancy test she’s ever done, I am skeptical. I just don’t trust that faint line. Now, every time I am skeptical, I have been wrong. The faint line always turns out being a positive test. So this time, I am embrasing the plastic with pee on it and believe she is pregnant.
I am so excited I can’t stand it. Now, my kids are so excited I don’t know if they will go to sleep tonight. They are bouncing off the walls trying to think of names, figuring out where the baby will sleep. We will have 4 kids at home now. That puts our total at 6 children. We are officially Catholic now, there’s no turning back! 
Yup, that’s right, 6 kids. Go hear to see the math.
Anyway, please pray for us as we pray for this baby and a happy birth in November! More to come as the pregnancy progresses.
Jason The Phatness baby, baby #6, catholic baby, new baby, pregnant!
