The Sprayberries

The Alien Has Arrived

[ty]

At 11:35pm last night Jordanna expelled our son, at great velocity, into the waiting arms of the UMC staff. She did it without an epideral, with myself and her sister by her side, and as we would expect from her, with a great deal of vulgarity. Both Mommy and Child are resting happily in the maternity ward as of this morning. With the exception of a bit of tearing during birth and some resulting stitches on her more sensitive parts everyone is happy, healthy, and on a nap-eat-nap-poop schedule.

We also filled out his birth certificate information this morning. Cayden Hoyt Henry Sprayberry. Cayden is an Irish name and it means "Spirit of Battle". We're both mutts but when you do the math he's certainly more Irish than anything else. Plus his cousins are named Kell and Rowan so we might as well build an American-Irish Futbol team.

Mommy and son

The placenta was very calcified (b/c he'd been
in there awhile) so it wasn't edible. Dammit.

Somebody clearly has daddy's skin tone.

So all is well and we're hoping to spring them from the hospital around 5pm today. Thank you to everyone for the love and support we've received. More exciting info and pictures to follow.
