Samuel Eugene Stocker was born on Tuesday, December 23 at 8:29am! He weighed 6 lbs 9oz and was 18 1/4 inches long, and is doing fantastic, as are Joy and Scott. He was delivered by a scheduled C-section and reports are that he has a full head of hair and is beautiful! Adam and I arrived in Cleveland last night too late to see him and Joy, but we will get to see them today at 1:00 for the first time! We are so excited!!!
You might be wondering what the hell a Zia is....well it's Aunt in Italian. To me an "ant" is an amazing little insect that builds underground caverns and can carry many more tons than itself around on it's back and an "aunt" just sounds too old so I took a word from a different language and that's what I am...Zia Erin!
Adam and I are both excited and overwhelmed by our new titles...Adam's famous line is "no one asked me if I wanted to be an uncle!" It's funny, but in reality, we're not going through half as much as the mother and father are, but we do feel some sense of shock that we are now somewhat responsible for this little guy's life...as they say it takes a village.
I'll post again tonight with pictures of us meeting little Sam at the hospital! Take care and Happy Holidays everyone:)
Oh Yay and Hooray! Congrats to ALL - including you, Zia Erin! Can't wait to see some pictures and hear more. Merry Christmas!
