PROOF!! :) It's a boy. Raife Andrew Alexander arrived on July 28th, 2009 at 6:34pm. He weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was/is 21in. long. As most, if not all, of you know we didn't find out what this baby was. Lately I had been thinking boy, but Andy said girl and he had always been the one that was right in the past, so we figured it was a girl---so imagine our surprise when he came out and was a little boy. I had to keep looking to be sure. :) The labor was longer than I thought it was going to be, I was expecting 6 hours at the max and Raife had other ideas. They started the pitocin at 8am and by 1pm I was barely a 2 -- needless to say it was an awfully long day-one that I'm glad is over-and most importantly he is healthy and doing good.

Our girls and a few of their cousins couldn't get enough of him.

Hi Robyn! I am so excited that you had a boy! He is so cute and he will get very taken care of! You look great and your girls are beautiful. It is funny how things work out, between me and my siblings we had 10 boys, then all in the same year we each had a girl. Hope you are feeling good!
