Welcome Baby James!

James Daniel Malan was born at 12:36 pm today! The surgery went very well and Jessica did great through it all. Here are the stats on the baby:

Weight: 9 lbs.  4 oz.

Length: 21 inches

Hair: Lots of thick black hair.

Mood: Seemed happy to be out and so far he’s a fairly calm baby. (Except when you prick his feet for blood, put a cold stethoscope on his chest to measure his heartbeat,  or take him out of the cloth wrap he’s in! – I haven’t told him yet the whole bit about circumcisions and how they work!)

Here are some pics that have been passed through my editor (Jess) for approval. Enjoy! More posts to come!
