Boy, what a boy!

He's here!!! We are now officially a six-pack! Justin Matthew Finlinson was born yesterday around 7:30 pm after being at the hospital just under 4 hours. He was 21" long and weighs 6lbs 10 oz, and we are both doing fantastic! We're calling him Matt, but I think it's sweet he shares a first name and his initials with his wonderful daddy, who took a million pictures yesterday I'll probably get around to posting later today. One thing that's super cute about December babies, though, is when they brought him back to me after his bath he was wrapped in the cutest red Christmas stocking. Adorable! What a fun Holiday gift! Thanks everyone for the support and the comments - maybe I'll get caught up on everyone else's blogs finally over the next couple of days here! :-)

Yeah! Congratulations. I'm glad he's finally here. How did everything go? Do not catch up on blogs. That's an order. Sleep, sleep, sleep, when you can.

He's darling.

Congratulations!! He is beautiful. I think he looks a lot like the rest of the bunch. Of course I love the name. I am sure Uncle Matt does too!

I am so happy he is here safe and sound. I hope you are feeling well and I can't wait to meet him over Christmas break. And like Amanda said, SLEEP, don't blog. It all will be waiting to be read later.

Loved the picture of your mom. And I hear you have an awesome doctor....
