My own Baby

Keith

I've had a fever for the first 16 days of Keith's life with us, so I've not had the energy to take many pix.

With Grandpa Keith.

He's finally here!

Keith Westin Bryan.

Born March 8, 2013 at 10:31 am.

19 3/4 inches long, 9 lbs 3 oz.

 

 

We had a 6 1/2 hour labor and delivery, from 4 am to 10:30 am. We got to Baptist Hospital at 8 that morning, and had a very good birthing experience. I went natural, no pain killers or epidural or anything...it helped that I was 9 cm dilated by the time we got there :)

Visitors

This is by no means everyone that came to see us, but it's the ones I had on my camera.

 

 

 

 

 

The Gooberheads

How we got our name.

We were asked this afternoon, "Why Gooberheads?"

Here's how Steve and I got our funky nickname.

Susie, chief chaperone and younger sister by 3 years, went nearly everywhere with Steve and I when we were dating. We were, and still are, completely crazy and Susie called Steve the Gooberhead. On one date she wrote a poem which she gave us (at our wedding??) later.

For Gooberhead

They met in May, I do believe

My sister and this guy named Steve

It's not been very widely spread

That I often call him Gooberhead

My chaping days will soon be done

My sister's heart this guy has won

On August the 13th they'll wed

My sister and this gooberhead

She's got some time to pack and plan

She'll soon be off to join her man

He is a nut I've heard it said

That crazy, Bryan gooberhead

We'll all be sad to see her go

They will be happy, this I know

Down to Florida he has led

My sister's loving gooberhead

I hope to often visit there

My faithful camera I will bear

Many stories I will spread

Of my sister and her gooberhead

A happy household they will start

I pray they never have to part

I hope you often hear it said

My sister loves that gooberhead
