He's here!

We are very excited to announce that our baby boy ,Kellan James Sherman made his way into this world on July 18, 2011 at 12:53pm. He weighed in at 8 pounds 9 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long!!!

Mommy had a very quick and easy delivery. We went into the hospital at 6:00am, the doctor broke her water at 9:30am, the epidural came at 10:40, and Kellan was here at 12:53pm. Mommy only had to push for 8 minutes and out came our sweet addition to our family! We couldn't be more thrilled. What a miracle he is and we are so thankful for a healthy boy!!!

Many have asked about his name so we thought we would explain. Kellan was just a name that mommy discovered and fell in love with, daddy agreed and there it was at about 20 weeks along we had our name. James is Kellan's middle name and the first name of his Papa. We thought there would be no better person to name our boy after than his Papa who is the example of an incredible man and the best Papa in the world to Avery and we know will be equally the same with his newest grandson.

Below are a few pictures from the labor and delivery. More to come as Kellan meets his big sister for the first time as well as Aunt Laura, Meme, Papa and Aunt Paula!
