Charles Kenneth Adams was born on St. Patrick's Day, March 17 at 1:52 AM. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 9 oz. and is 21 1/4 inches long. We were blessed with a relatively quick (though intense) labor and delivery.

Water broke at 7pm Thurs eve and we headed to the hospital at 9 pm with only mild contractions. Things started speeding up around 10 pm and baby was born just 4 hours later!

We spent Friday and Sat at the hospital and got a total of about 4 hours sleep between admission and discharge! Seems that the lack of sleep will be an ongoing trend. We were a little nervous to be "on our own" the first night, but somehow made it through and, thankfully, Grandma arrived on Sun to stay for the week. We loved showing Charlie off to our visitors. Thanks everyone for coming by and for all of the wonderful food!
