I am posting this to confirm that the new baby's name is Arden Ellis Boettcher. Here is the whole family the morning after Arden was born. Sydney loves his new little brother. He constantly wants to hold him and pet him and give him kisses.

Birth Story
Michelle is on the phone again telling the birth story to a friend. It is 9:45 pm so fortunately we will not pay for these cell phone minutes. However, we will not be to bed for quite a while longer... The birth story is very exciting, but it takes a while to get the complete description of the magnificent day. Michelle will surely post the story here, eventually.

Our New Baby Boy
His name is not 100% decided. He was 6 lbs. 7 oz. and 18.5 inches. He was born at 9:33 pm on May 21st, 2008. And here he is.
Don't Believe Hollywood
Labor is not really exciting for the first few hours. We have been timing contractions, but so far none have been really intense. They're coming every few minutes, but Michelle hasn't had to stop what she's doing during them. We have been doing housework, sweeping, and doing laundry to keep moving and keep busy, but that is winding down. If you know Michelle, we're running out of things to clean.
This morning we went for a walk to get things going. It was so nice. The sun was coming up, everything was clean and green from the rain last night, and we laughed at everyone who was on their way to work. Now we are expecting our chiropractor to show up and adjust Michelle, as well as the midwife's assistant, who lives down the street, to check the baby's heart beat and make sure that all is well. In the meantime, Sydney is trying to avoid falling asleep. He was up with us at 5:30 this morning, so it is definitely time for a nap!

A Birthday Begins
Michelle's water broke this morning at 5:10 AM. I will try to keep the blog updated when Arden is born and post pictures here in the next day or so. Thank you for your well wishes.
