Joshua is here!

Joshua Thomas finally made his entrance into the world on Veteran's Day November 11th at 12:50pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and is 19 1/4 inches long. Everything went very smoothly and he is doing great.

Big brother Ethan is adjusting well so far. He is handy for getting diapers and letting us know when Joshua is crying. Every morning so far he has asked "Where's the baby?" but I think he wants to say "Is the baby still here?"

Overall, everything is going great and can't wait for everyone to get to meet him!

Fall Fun

Things at the Helgoth house have been disappointingly uneventful.....We thought that Joshua was going to make an early appearance and I was put on bedrest. Now we are counting every moment waiting for him to arrive. During the Fall/Halloween season we attended a couple of gatherings and of course there was trick or treating. Ethan did a great job trick or treating and passing out candy at home. He gets bigger and bigger every day and I know will make a great big brother if his baby brother ever comes along!Me and Ethan at the neighborhood festival
