More Pics of HHK II

We're still in the hospital and everything is going very well. The nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital are very helpful have treated us all like royalty, but we are still very excited about bringing Hampton home.

We had lots of visitor's yesterday including Eric's Aunt Jeannette, Uncle Mac and Cousin Madison. Mac took a few pictures and sent them to us today. More to come once we get everything uploaded.

Here is a link to the photo from the hospital photographer.

Jeanette and Madison spend some time with the newest member of the Knight Family.

Hale Hampton Knight II

Our sweet baby has arrived - Hale Hampton Knight II, named after Eric's grandfather, joined our family at 1:51 am today, July 26. Hampton was 8 pounds, 7 ounces and 20.5" long. We are definitely on cloud nine and elated to have such a beautiful son. More pictures to come but we've included a sneak preview.

Thank you all for your love and support. We could not be any happier and thankful for a healthy, happy baby and a quick and easy delivery!

Bring on the Baby!

We're officially scheduled to be induced tomorrow night at 7:15 pm (arrival time to the hospital). That being said, we will probably have our Little One early the following morning on July 26. We had doctor's appointments today. Now that our bags have been ready for over 4-weeks, we're ready for some action!

Mom arrived today. Linda is in town too. We're heading to Hamersley Bistro tonight for dinner with the family and we'll be sure to keep you posted!

The Blessing

This morning on our walk through the Navy Yard, we ran into Father John and his black lab, Daisy. He asked us how things were going and we told him we were officially 5 days late. And his response was "Today is the day. God bless!". So, if today is day the baby will be born or if labor will begin - we'll take either!

On another note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD (Marin's Father). And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLY (yesterday was Marin's brother b-day).

And, a very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maya Renee Pennington, who was born yesterday as well. She is the beautiful daughter of Holly and Drew Pennington. Holly and I went to Wake together - a dear friend and VIP extraoridinaire!!
