Well folks, I got what I really wanted for Christmas.... a baby!!! Charles almost got what he wanted for Christmas..... he wanted a baby brother, he got a baby boy cousin instead! I think my sister has forgiven me and the children for wishing him here earlier than planned. She went to an appointment the afternoon of December 23rd, and they kept her!!! I was thrilled to pieces. I had hoped that he would come that night, but he took a little bit longer. He was born at 1:15 am on December 24th. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 18 inches long. He is so stinking cute!!! He has some soft, light brown hair. I was terribly impatient waiting for visiting hours. By the time it was "legal" to go, the grandparents and other siblings had arrived from out of town, so I waited a bit longer. He was definately worth the wait! Plus, I got an even better gift than I could have imagined.... they left the hospital yesterday and came here to let my kids hold him (since they aren't allowed in the hospital room) and the storm hit! They were snowed in here!!! Yay for me! I got to have the cutest baby spend the night at my house! I even stayed up late and held him while mom and dad tried hard to catch up on some sleep! Life is great!!! When they came over we had to guess the baby's name. We have been calling him "Squirmy" since we found out about the baby! Charles would always remind us that Squirmy was a pretend name. We are all trying hard to adjust to his "real name." To find out the baby's name, Tressa had us play hangman. Thank goodness we're good guessers! His name is Eric Rawson Mildenhall, and he is so stinking cute!!!! Even his cry is cute, which we seldom get to hear. Indulge now in the cutest pictures ever!!!

Charles so excited to hold his new cousin! He's wearing a mask to protect the baby from germs.
He kept trying to move it so he could kiss him!
I got a cute picture tonight of Kaylee holding him.... but I don't have time to put it up now. Maybe tomorrow.

He really is cute. He has a perfect little face. What a fun Christmas gift.
what a cutie! so glad we get to see pictures of the new parents and the new baby. congrats tressa!
Awww...he's so cute! However, I am a little miffed that Tressa shows no signs of ever being pregnant - not even swelling! After my kids I retained so much fluid that it took 3 weeks to get rid of it and I had 400 lb lady ankles!! Imagine walking around on those feet :(
