Robert Gage Herbert is here (we call him Gage)! Actually he's been here for a month but life with a newborn and a toddler is busy!! He was born on September 20th at 1:21 in the afternoon. He weighed 7 pounds and 5 ounces and was 19 inches long. He was the exact same weight and height as Haylee when she was born. The labor and delivery turned out to be very easy, it was a wonderful experience and we're so happy to have him here.
I had lots of help from family. My sister Robin was in Utah the day he was born so she came over to our house early in the morning to be with Haylee. My parents came down later that day and stayed with Haylee all weekend so Mike could spend some time with us in the hospital. Thanks to everyone for all of your help!
Gage is super cute. He has tons of dark hair and cute little chubby cheeks. I hope his hair doesn't fall out, it's too cute. It stands straight up no matter what we do with it, I love it. His eyes are dark gray, but I think they'll end up being brown.
Mike was able to take two weeks off work after Gage was born. It was so nice to have an extra pair of hands to help out. He was great, I wish we could have him around more often.
Gage had already gained a pound and a half at his two week appointment with the pediatrician. We knew he was growing fast but I couldn't believe how much he's grown. I think we're going to have a big boy! He's been lots of fun. He has quite the temper and absolutely NO patience. Good thing he's sooooo cute!

I have been hoping you would post some pictures. He is so cute! I love the picture with Mike and the kids.
My favorite pic is Mike with your kidlets too. He looks so super proud to be a dad. It's very cute. I'm so glad finally got to see pics of your new addition. I LOVE his hair and will hope it always stays super spiky!
