Our Week with Gaga

We were so blessed to have Gaga here for our first week with Charlie... there is no greater help than your mom!  She kept Norah happily busy with fun projects like painting eggs and other masterpieces and creating yummy Eater treats!  It was easy to get used to having her around... and not so easy to say goodbye!

Meet Charles Gregory Meyer

We are pleased and proud to announce the much anticipated arrival of our beautiful baby boy, Charles Gregory Meyer.  Born April 1st, 2012 at 2:14am, weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21 inches long.  Charles is named after his Gimpa, Stephen Charles Meyer and after his father, Gregory Stephen Meyer, two of the most amazing men I have known.  And this little guy is no exception!  Bringing him into this world was a thrill I will never forget!

We met our sweet baby boy just 30 minutes after we arrived at the hospital!  

Gaga got there just moments after he came!

He was pure perfection.  
(And born with a solid head of red hair!)

Chris, our midwife, was just in time to catch him!

Love.

We were discharged from the hospital 13 hours after Charlie was born!  It was so wonderful snuggling up with him in my own bed!

The proud big sis!

So in love!

We had a birthday party for Charles on his birthday!  It was a great to celebrate with our Oregon family!

Taking it in!

Welcome Charlie!  
We love you so much!
