Daddy post -

The baby has "made his appearance" as mommy would say...and both mommy and baby are doing great. Exhausted, but great. Let's start with the tech specs:

The bottom row indicates the contractions...and yes, those are pegging out at the top...
...but she endured it all with such grace.
Brand new baby with a fresh coat of Crisco.
He was a little more contented once he was bundled up.
Eyeing his mommy through a layer of eye ointment.
Bathed, fed and happy to put faces to the voices...
..."no, Dax, they weren't just in your head."

Awe! He is so handsome! Joanna you did a great job. Can't wait to meet him. Let me know when "the bug" is outta your house and it isn't so hectic and we will come visit. I like the last picture...such a cute little face he has. He looks perfectly content with Momma. Oh, and what color is charcoal navy?

So great to see my great nephew!!! He will learn to hold up that Newby noggin, trust me. :) Can't wait to see you all. Thanks for the quick update and pictures of such a good looking big boy! Great job Joanna and yeah Dave I guess you had a little something to do with it too. Love you all - Aunt Tracey :)

Yay! He's here! We're so excited that Dax has officially joined the ever-growing Bouldin/Newby family! Elena's loved seeing her new cousin and has endearingly nicknamed Dax "baby! baby!" (screamed at the top of her lungs.)

He's precious and definitely looks like Joanna well nourished him the last 9 months. Well done, Jo!

Dave, big congrats to you too and thanks for all the cool-Dave stats.

Hugs to all,
The Barraza Bouldin's
