Stinky Pete was born at 8:27 this morning to the tune of “Come Sail Away” by Styx (via the nurse’s iPod, on ’70s shuffle. I consider it a cosmic joke.). He weighs 8 pounds, 6 ounces and is 19.5 inches long.
Poppy stopped by earlier this evening to meet him. She gave him a few gentle pats and then explored the hospital room. She only pushed the nurses’ call button twice.
We’re both doing really well. He’s a champion eater, and when he’s not eating he’s a very quiet and sleepy little fella. He seems to be moving from his sleepy stage to his hungry stage right now; I’ll share more later!
What a cutie! Congratulations Nichole and Rockford. Im sure Poppy will make a great big sister.
Oooooo! So cute. Nichole looks great!! Pete seems to have a wee bit of hair, or more, I can’t quite see under the cap. Congratulations to all!!
Nichole & Pete, you look so peaceful & calm. Mom called earlier today, and Genia emailed this afternoon – guess everyone knew we were waiting for word of the arrival! So glad everything went well. Love to the family of 4!
He is sooooo cute!!! Can’t wait to meet him!!! Congradulations!!!
Congratulations! He’s so sweet and Nichole you look awesome. I’m sending big hugs.
Congratulations to all of you!! We are really happy for your newly expanded family:)
Congratulations to all! He is a beautiful child! And y’all are blogging so soon after birth..I’m impressed…wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!
WOOOHOO!! congratulations! I hope all is going well for you and rockford and poppy. he is a beautiful little baby 🙂 thanks for keeping us updated
Congratulations Nikki, Rockford, and Poppy! He’s beautiful. Glad all is going well. Take care!
Congratulations! I gotta say I got a little teary-eyed. And now I’ve got Elton John lyrics swimming through my head (for Poppy):
And all you ever learned from them
Until you grew much older
Did not compare with when they said
This is your brand new brother
Congrats to you all. Pete is a cutie. Hope I will be able to see him when you visit MI. Love to you all.
wow, mother and baby are BEAUTIFUL. congratulations, you guys! you make a gorgeous family… 😀
Congratulations on Pete’s safe arrival. I hope you are all doing well and Poppy is settling into her new role as ‘big sis’.
That is the best looking nephew I’ve ever had.
Congrats!!
Chris, the Styx was courtesy of the Nurse’s iPod–I sadly cannot take credit for the tunes. I requested Steely Dan, which the nurse had in a 70’s mix. And, well, alphabetically Styx is very near Steely Dan. I think you can see the progression. Anyway, what a perfect anthem for our son’s arrival. To transition from Rikki Don’t Lose That Number to Come Sail Away was really quite perfect (given my musical leanings). Nichole was just happy it wasn’t Guitar Man…
Congratulations to you both. He’s a handsome laddie. What were y’all doing with Styx on your labor playlist?
He is super cute!! Congratulations!! =)
Congratulations! Such a cutie pie!
why’s she gotta be hating on guitar man? 🙁
maybe she should try the cake cover…it’s happy times. 😀
Congrats! Love you guys & so happy for you. MORE PICS please! 🙂 (sorry if you get this comment twice, my computer is going haywire)
Congratulations!!! I look forward to hearing/seeing the new adventures of the Butterscotch Sundae clan. And what a beautiful view from your room!
