At 5:17am on June 1, Zander increased our family size to four. He was was 7 pounds and 7 ounces and 21 inches long.
Helen's labor started at about 10:15pm on May 31. We went to the hospital about 1am. After an extended push time of two minutes, Zander found himself rudely ejected from his cozy, but increasingly cramped home of 9 months.
Zander's name is in honor of Erik's mom Sandra who passed way recently. Pascal happens to be a family name on Erik's mom's side.
Interestingly, Zander's birthday is the same as Helen's Grandma June.
Besides being exhausted from staying up all night, both parents are doing great. Aiden is excited to "teach" his "baby brother things." Also, Aiden now has his own baby doll--he chose the name "Elvis": this was a name that he wanted to name our baby.
Congratulations Helen, Erik, and Aiden!! What a beautiful addition.. and a fellow Gemini to boot!
