The newest Delahoz

Since I'm a horrible blogger lately, I'm 2.5 months late in introducing the newest member of our family. Karsten was born on May 8. He took FOREVER to be born (seriously, it felt like the longest labor in the world), but once he arrived, it was all worth it.  My recovery from the delivery was fairly brutal-maybe one day if I can keep up on the blogging I'll put it all down into words.

Karsten David

Born at 11:22AM on Wednesday May 8, 2013.

7 pounds, 9 ounces. 19 inches long

Regardless, the same as any mother tells you, once the baby is placed into your arms, every bit of the pregnancy and delivery makes it all worth it. Same with adoption-once that baby is placed in your arms, the long wait begins to fade away and it is so worth it.

Big brother Daniel is amazing with his little brother. He is tender and sweet with him. He shows Karsten his cars, toys and books. Daniel is always attempts to calm Karsten down when he is crying. He says, "That's ok, that's ok, Karsten. Mommy's coming". It's the sweetest thing. 

Kissing Karsten good night

It's amazing how our little family feels so complete. Karsten has rocked our world in a pretty big way-but we are managing and learning to adjust to 2 kids. All in all, we are amazingly blessed!
