HE'S HERE!!!!!!!!

Well ladies... HE'S HERE!!!!!!!!

Samuel Marshall Chapman "Sam" was born yesterday (7/13) at 4:45AM.  He was 7 lbs., 4 oz. and 19.5 inches long. He is perfect and wonderful.  I love him so so much, and I am SO happy that he is here.

In my fantasy world, I imagined that we would have all this extra time in the hospital/labor for blogging etc... But, alas, reality has set in and this is the first second I have had to update my blog.  Rest assured, I've been thinking about you all and anxious to share! 

Here are a few pictures to tide you over until I have a chance to write down all the details.  In the meantime, THANK YOU for all your support and prayers these last nine months.  We made it!!

Just a few hours old.
Our families meeting Baby Sam.  They were troopers... In the waiting room from about 2:30AM.  
Our family of three!

    So I've been lurking actively since you were about 16 weeks pregnant & haven't really commented but I had to this time because I am literally sobbing with joy for you. You have just entered an amazing time in your life & while it's going to be hectic, it's going to be much more amazing. Congratulations!
