David Steven Foote

So with Katie being pregnant and the due date being tomorrow we were thinking about when our little guy might make his appearance. I kept telling people he was going to be born on either 1-1-11 or 1-11-11, well New Years day came and went and no kid. So I said, for sure he is coming on the 11th! If not Katie was going to have to wait until November and 11-11-11. Having a cool birthday is cool I smile every time I write 3-8-83 and I thought it would be nice to give a cool birthday to our little guy.

Well, he decided to be obedient and...

at 8:16 PM on 1-11-11 David Steven Foote was born (I suggested to Katie that if she could wait about 3 more hours he could be born at 11:11 - if looks could kill I would not be typing this right now. My family has a bad way of helping people deal with pain - humor - it works for minor pain, doesn't help at all with labor type pain - unless you consider making people mad helping.)

Anyway, we have had our little guy for a few days now and he is awesome. Sarah loves being a big sister and is a big help with him and we have had Katie's awesome mom helping out as well. So Katie and I have pretty much just been able to enjoy him.

Here are a few photos from the hospital. I took a TON more today, but have yet to edit them. You can also see the full set here


Katie looking way to good for being about to deliver a baby. When we walked into the hospital to check in she was between contractions and looked like we were out for a stroll in the park. They really didn't think she was in labor because she was so calm and relaxed and not hurting at the moment. The elevator right outside the door to labor and delivery was a different story - they would have not doubted for a second had they seen her in the elevator!



Here is our little guy just a few minutes after he was born - pretty cute eh?



Sarah was really excited to meet her new little brother



Both Grandmas were pretty excited to see him as well



Here is David, Steven, and David Steven - he was named after two pretty great guys!




Yes I was there too - we are now a family of 4 that is crazy!




Our little guy is ready to celebrate! This is a mini sparkling cider that they brought for each of us with our celebration dinner (steak and shrimp and pasta prima vera . . . pretty good!)




It is late and I am tired. Check back in a few days for some more cute photos. I promise to do at least a little better at blogging for at least a little while!
