Destry Zane Ketchum is Here!!













What a beautiful baby boy - we feel so blessed to have two amazing children, our little family has grown and feels complete! Destry was 7 lbs. 1 oz., and 20 inches long, he made his entrance at about 2 a.m. on December 30, 2009. His due date was the 25th so we were anxiously awaiting his arrival and had an induction scheduled for the 31st - he was ready to be here to celebrate the new year with us and decided to come on his own! His delivery was great, we arrived at the hospital (after contractions beginning 2 a.m. the night before!) at 9:30 p.m. so about 5 hours in the hospital and he was here! We asked to go home today (so hard to sleep in those hospital beds with nurses in and out every hour!) and they obliged, we are so happy to be home and were very happy to see Daysha! We are so grateful to my sister Jilly for taking care of her for the couple days we were in the hospital, Daysha loves her aunt Jilly and cousin Spencer and it sounds like they had a great time! Jill brought her to our house to meet us as we arrived home from the hospital and when she came through the door with Daysha I could not believe how big Daysha looked - I don't know if she grew or if now with Destry here she looks like a big girl! Maybe both. She was so adorable with her new baby brother, she's been giving him his binki and petting him, she gave him a couple kisses and seems to be really happy he's here! Thanks to all those who have sent us their love, thoughts and prayers - we are sooo blessed! Happy New Year to You All!!!!
