To say the least, I was not able to get my audblog to work, and I was trying to set up my lap top when Mrs. G mentioned she either peed in her pants or her water just broke. Well, turns out she was not incontinent. Ladies and gentleman, friends and family, I present to you my little bump.
He was 7 pounds 9 ounces, and 18 1/2 inches from stem to stern, and came into our world at 2:30 a.m. Yes, he came in with a bang! He came into the picture very quickly, so quick in fact, that the only catcher in the room was daddy, who promptly shouted for a couple of professionals to maybe earn their keep. More on that in a later post.
This picture was as I handed the little guy over to mommy. The bond began, and I was invisible the rest of the morning.
I think the first thought was, thank God dad can catch a gounder going to his left. His second thought was where's breakfast I'm beat!
Both baby and Mommy are resting and sleeping when they aren't being poked a prodded, and daddy just beams and follows directions. I am on my way back to the hospital, to supervise some more, but wanted to thank all of you for being a part of things even though I had to go it alone.
God has truly blessed us on this day!
YAYAYAYAY!! I see he's already got the "sleeping in the stick-em-up position" routine down.
He's beautiful! And I am soooo happy for you all...
And now, it sounds like two of the children are trying to kill the third! Must dash!
Yeah!! Congrads guys! I will hold your children hostage tonight until I get to hold him again. Ok?? Ok!!
Auntie Hula and Uncle Hula are so excited to see that you are healthy and beautiful!! (yes boys can be beautiful!!)
Ok fine...handsome!!
Love to all!!
He's the most handsome baby boy I've ever ever seen! And I'm not even a family member so I can't be biased! LOL! He's truly a cutie. *squeeze*
YAAAAAAAAAY! Baby is here!

Congratulations on your little blessing. God is good!
My Aidan was born on 9/11/02, I was watching all the one year anniversary events unfold as he was being born... (ok listening and trying to breathe through the pain) But it was a great day. Congrats to you and your family and Happy Birthday to little AJ and Happy days to you and your family! Fireworks all around!
*sigh* Me too, Natali.
He is SO beautiful.. his little rosy nose and plump little cheeks that just beg to be kissed. And Mrs. G, you look fantastic - congratulations to you both!
(Emily commented, "oh, such a pretty baby, awwww, he's sleepin, shhhh!")
What a handsome little guy! You guys build beautiful babies! I'm so happy for you all. Congratulations again!
Congratulations to you both. He's gorgeous! Sounds like you did a great job as catcher. Jorge Posada, watch out!
I found you guys through the ever-wonderful Shylah (because I wanted to see pictures of the baby -- I'm a sucker for babies) and can I just say that ohmigosh, he is BEAUTIFUL!! Congratulations!!!
See Genuine! You doubted me, but I had this feeling that he would be born on Independance day! CONGRATULATIONS! *doing happy dance*. I'm kinda shocked that you were the catcher though! Yikes! Hope you don't expect to breastfeed too! What do the kids think of him?! Enjoy your newest little one...and while you're at it, take some time off from blogging...you could even have Zero Boss take over for awhile LOL...CONGRATS AGAIN! Mrs. G and baby are georgous (as are your other two...again...must take after mommy!)
OMG, I'm so totally in love with Aidan. He's absolutely perfect! Probably the most beautiful newborn I've ever seen! (Cute as shewas (is),even MY daughter wasn't THIS perfect only hours old!) *picks up phone, calls travel agent and shouts "Did you book my damn ticket to Denver or what? There's a baby I must go kiss and hug, pronto! ok, in 2.75 months"*
He's GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Aidan, Auntie Cyn ADORES YOU!!! *sniff, sniff*
If you will all excuse me, I MUST go have a little talk with my stubborn, lazy and completely disobedient reproductive system-ovaries in particular.
I'll be back!
Awwww what a beautiful little guy!!!!
Congrats all of you!
I'm SO happy for you & your familiy! And thay is the cutest beautiful baby ever! :) Congrats & all the best.
"Oooh!! Look at the beautiful baby Moma... He looks like a boy!"
What a cute burrito baby! He's SO gorgeous! Almost makes me want another one. No, not really. Oh, but babies are so cute!
Congratulations! What a beautiful baby.
And, the Texas Rangers called. They're thinking of adding someone to the team who can actually catch. I've got their number so just e-mail me when you're ready...
Wow, what a cutie! And what a great day for a birthday. I bet he will grow up to be a real firecracker! Happy Birthday little Aiden...
I would like to offer my congratulations on a job well done. The two of you make great kids! I know that after you both get some rest in two or three years, you will be thrilled to have three! (grinning)
Congratulations! Aidan is beautiful!
Sorry I didn't post sooner, I have had some problems with my computer and the internet, but it's working now after I hit my computer a few times and restarted it.
Did Aidan hit you in the head before you catched him, that happened to me when I was a catcher long time ago, but I got hit with baseball bats!
I'm really looking forward when you post another post to keep us posted! Hope you had a nice 4th of July!
What a beautiful baby boy! CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family! :)
dude, he's all cute and stuff. congrats to you, but more congrats to your wife! i mean, she DID do all the work.
now, stop checking your email and blog and get some rest. oops, go rub your wife's feet first.
CONGRATULATIONS! That's a beautiful and healthy-lookin' pair (mother and son). Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations! He's absolutely beautiful! (and this comes from a girl that does not usually like babies)
How funny! My babies are Aidan and Cole. See them at http://aidanandcole.blogspot.com.
Of course, I love the name :)
He could not be sweeter! Congratulations to you all.
Yeah, so, welcome AJ and all that, but...
who won the "guess the baby" contest?
Let's have some priorities, man.

What a darling baby! I love the name Aiden, so strong sounding. Congrats!
