Introducing.....

the newest member of team Holmstead,



Eli William.

He made his grand entry on July 16th making everyone wait a week past his due date. Labor however, went rather quickly (3 1/2 hours).  He's my biggest baby so far weighing in at 9lb 10oz and he was 21 inches long.  After 24 hours in the hospital we were both able to come home.

The kids are smitten.  Let's face it, we all are.  Carter can't see him without telling me he's so glad that I had a baby or that Eli's "sooooooo Cuuuuute!" or something along those lines.  Austin want's to hold him all the time.  Tessa has to know where "baby brother" is at all times.  She even tries to dictate his schedule, telling me when to feed him or when he needs to go to sleep.

Everything is going well and we're glad he's here.  Welcome to the team Eli!!
