Andrew Michael Dudley finally arrived on the scene this Thursday, 8-20-09, at 11:42 AM. He was 7 lbs, 8.8 oz and 21 inches long. This makes him a few ounces and about an inch and a half smaller than Nate was. No matter, he's just as cute. I call this picture "I have arrived!"
The little man didn't fuss much once he arrived. The nurses had to agitate him to get him to cry and get his lungs going. So far, he's a very content baby. Looking through Nate's birth pictures, he looked to be whining in most of them. I couldn't find one picture of Drew crying. The other big difference is in the eyes. Nate's seemed to stay closed for all his early pictures. Drew was pretty wide-eyed from the moment he sprang forth. We're trying to decide how much they look like each other. I can't tell. One wrinkly red baby looks the same as the next to me. You be the judge. Here's Drew...
And here's Nate...
We had lots of help at the hospital. Grandma, Aunt Rachel, and Aunt Gloria were all there for the birth.

Pop soon showed up with Nathan. He was largely indifferent with his little bro. He may have been a bit intimidated.
He was much more interested in watching the helicopter take off and watching trains go by out the window.
Besides Nana and Pop, our other visitors included Great Grandma, Megan, and Logan.
It was a tiring couple of days, but we're home now.
Thank you to everyone who helped us this week, we really appreciate it! We'll be posting many more pics soon so stay tuned.

Guys, he's adorable! So cute! I think they look a bit different, but you'll get all kinds of opinions. A lot of people say our boys look exactly alike...others say they look totally different. Go figure! :) So happy he is here healthy and safe! When you get settled we'll come meet him and bring some food! :)
Love,
Nic and fam
