We are ecstatic to announce the newest member of our family has arrived! William Wetherill (Wether) was born on Saturday, February 7, 2009 at 6:17 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long.
Hours after my mom left for the airport to return to Connecticut (she had been here for 10 days hoping to witness Wether's birth) I started to feel contractions; it was around 3am on Saturday morning. I felt the contractions all day but wasn't absolutely sure they were true labor contractions until around 4pm when they started to get stronger. Kjell and I left for the hosptial almost immediately and Kjell's brother Joshua came over to watch Marcus and Holden and later in the evening was relieved by Pam (thank you!).I was 4.5 cm dialated upon arrival and progressing quickly. I decided against an epidural and of course regretted that decision almost immediately! Still, Wether was born less then 2 hours after arriving at the hospital. He looks very much like Marcus did as a newborn; he's a good eater and has definitely found his voice. We are thrilled to welcome him into our family.

How adorable! You sure do have fast labors. I remember when you delivered Marcus. Didn't you almost have him in the car on the way to the hospital? Let me know if I'm wrong! What an exciting time for your family. :) Take care.
We are so excited for your family!! Wether is absolutely adorable..can't wait to meet him one day. All our love.
Congratulations! What a cutie! You are my hero- a la natural birth! I don't know how you do it!
Yeah! COngrats! He's adorable, and yes I do see a lot of Marcus in him. Hope you're feeling well.
Yea!!!!! Again congrats! Sad your mom missed it by that much.

How sweet! What a cutie! I sure feel for you doing those babies natural. For your sake, I'm glad it didn't last any longer! I asked Marcus if he got to see his new baby brother and his response was "Uh huh, I got a Henry present." :)

Congrats! He's beautiful. And do you have lipstick on in the hospital? After a natural birth? You are amazing. Remind me never to show you my post-birth pictures - they are SCARY.

Congratulations! Can't wait to meet "Wether" and see you all soon!
Yay congratulations! He is precious. The names you pick are so unique and fun. Where did you get the middle name from?
Also, you look amazing after just giving birth. I don't allow cameras on me in the delivery room since my face swells up like a hot air balloon.
Congratulations! He looks adorable! Good luck with the new baby/recuperating bit! I wish I was there to come visit!
he is precious! yay for you guys and baby # 3! i love it. we will come and see you soon!
p.s. i love the picture of holden with the baby and the graham cracker. cash ate all my graham crackers and half my dinner when he came in to see oscar for the first time. he was more interested in the food than he was the baby! (until he saw the baby's toes and then he wanted to "crack baby's piggies"...)
Welcome William! I am sorry I didn't check your blog earlier! I am glad you and baby are well. You seem to have swift deliveries, which is a major BONUS! I am so excited for you and your family. I seriously need to call you to check up. Take care of yourself!
