Introducing.....

Daniel Kase Brooks

born March 12, 2009 at 10:19 am

weighing in at 9 lbs.

measuring 20 inches long

I can't believe Kase was 1 week old on Thursday and I'm just now introducing him to ya'll. He is the sweetest baby ever. He is a great sleeper, barely ever cries unless he's really, really hungry, and just lays there and looks around grunting and cooing. The Lord really blessed us with a good and healthy baby, I think he knew we would need it with Steele around keeping us on our toes.

Steele loves his baby Kase and wants to hold him, talk to him, and read to him all the time. On the other hand, he is having quite a time adjusting to there being someone else that I have to feed, diaper, and hold besides him. Night time is especially hard, Steele has been waking up every time Kase feeds and crying. I do have wonderful help though and everything else has been great!

It was a very uneventful delivery. I went in at 7:00 am on Thursday morning. I was pushed back one surgery so we had to wait a little longer than planned. I had the best nurses and doctors that I could have asked for. Kase was born at 10:19 am and I can still see his little head as they poked him over the screen for me to see for the first time. Then of course they cleaned him up and handed him to his Daddy. Which in my opinion is so not fair, I carried him for 9 months and his Daddy is the first one to hold him. Oh well that's what happens when you have a section. I can also still see Steele's face light up when he saw him up close for the first time in my room. He was grinning from ear to ear. He tells everybody they can't take his baby Kase home with them and cried when he had to leave him at the hospital.

And of course here are some pictures, which is what you want to see anyway:)

Doesn't that look like a proud Daddy?
