The Wait Is Over...

Friends, family and loved ones:

It was a long day that started before 5:00 a.m. at home getting ready to go to the hospital. After spending 20 hours there, I left Melissa to rest and my first task was to post this before I crashed.

At 2:15 p.m. on August 20, 2008, Ryan Jeffrey Norton took a breath and let out a cry. He clicked the scale at 8 lbs, 5 oz and was 21 inches long. 10 toes, 10 fingers, etc etc etc. Mom and baby are doing just fine. Big Brother Dylan, Grandma Norton, the Taylor family and Uncle Vinci came to visit. 

I'll let Melissa give the full details of her day in a later post. 

For me...it had to be one of the most amazing days of my life. I owe Melissa so much for giving me this child.

Here are just a few pictures. If you click on the photo, it will open "full size."

Thanks for all of your thoughts, prayers and well wishes.

Jeff
