Today at 8:32am, Alexander Jacob Messer was born. He weighed in at 7 lbs, 10 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Alex was born via c-section.
Big Brother Brandon, and all Alex's grandparents were at the hospital today to meet him when we were all ready for visitors. Big Brother Brandon was especially empathetic to his Baby Brother and was very concerned every time he cried.
So far Alex is sleeping and feeding very well. He has had several messy diapers already so we are sure the plumbing is working fine. He looks a lot like his Big Brother right now but we know that he'll grow in to his own sweet self soon enough. For now though, we're happy to have a tiny baby to snuggle again.
We're thrilled he's here healthy, happy and thriving. There's really no greater joy in the world than hearing your baby cry for the first time.
