Henry Peter Roesch

(Adam Writes:)
So, this morning at 7:15 Grandma Wendy, Beth and I left for the Hospital. Cora stayed behind with Emily and Grandpa Dan. We got Beth checked in and everything squared away, and there was a slight delay due to other c-sections, but Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Tom came at about 9:30 so time went faster talking with with them.

Wendy & I got into the delivery room at 11:00 am. Doctors and Nurses moving about, and Beth and I just waiting for him to be born.



And then he was born! 11:18 am. I took him to get his cleaned up, and brought him back to meet his mommy. He still hadn't opened his eyes.



I went with him to the nursery and Beth went to recovery. He was big! 8 lbs, 11 oz, 21 in. He doesn't have much hair, and I think he looks a lot like his sister did. I helped the nurses get all his vitals and Wendy called for Cora, Em, and Dan to leave our house, but they were already in the waiting room. I took him to get his first bath and then to our room with my son, but Beth was still in recovery. She didn't get up there until 1:30, which gave me time to take a few close-ups.


Beth finally made it up, and we finalized on the name.

Henry Peter Roesch.

Peterson is Beth's Maiden name.

Then I came to the waiting room to get Cora. We introduced them. She got to hold him. Then we got the grandparents and Aunt, introduced him to all, called great-grandparents and the other Aunts, and just visited.

Cora was so nice to him. She liked to kiss and hug him, even when he was eating.



Then Cora and I went to get Ice Cream and came home. She didn't have a nap today, so I think it's bed time.

Beth and Henry are at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park and should be there through late Sunday or into Monday.
