Asher Christopher Parke

Sierra and Conan had their baby boy today!

Asher Christopher Parke arrived via c-section today. He weighed in at 10 lbs. 1 oz. As of 8:00 p.m. Sierra has not heard his length. She was able to hold him for the first time 45 minutes ago (around 7:00 p.m.). After he was born he was taken to the nursery for a bottle of formula because of the high blood sugar.

His APGAR score was an 8/9 so he is one HEALTHY little boy!

We are SOOOOOO happy for the Parke family! I remember the day Sierra told me she was expecting and I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I'm sure not as fast for her as it was for me, but that's life---literally. Ha, ha! I crack myself up.

Moving on, Sierra would love visitors. She's thinking she may try to go home early Saturday evening. If you're going, please let me know, I'm up for seeing a baby anytime. Especially when the little one isn't coming home with me.

I'll try to get my hands on a picture soon, but until then, just picture an adorable BIG baby boy with brownish hair.

No wonder she had to have c-section! I had a dream last night I was pregnant and I was not happy at all so I never told anyone. It was awefull! I was so happy to wake up and find it was just a dream!
