(Thanks, Deb!)
So, did the name surprise any of you? Just curious. If you hate it, too late...mwahahahahaha! Just don't tell me. :) No, we honestly didn't decide on it until about 9 o'clock the night he was born--he was three or four hours old.
He's quite the gorgeous baby, not that I'm biased or anything. His fingernails are superlong, his toes are long (he's got the Peters' feet, just like all my babies). Heber had his first video conference this afternoon, "talking" to Grandma and Grandpa in Tobago. It's amazing that they could watch and listen to him, thousands and thousands of miles away, before he's even 24 hours old. What an amazing world we live in! We sure miss Grandma and Grandpa, though. Grandma thinks he looks like Mercy. I think I agree, but I'll have to get pictures out to be sure.
Sorry I didn't post last night with the "results" of our day in labor...I wanted to, but then my computer stopped picking up the internet and Bradley had already gone home to be with the other kids! I was without internet until he returned around ten this morning, with Ezra, Gideon, and Mercy in tow. That was interesting...Ezra and Mercy were excited to meet the new baby, although the crackers and cookies the nurse brought in, and Playhouse Disney on the TV, were more captivating. Mercy-girl is pretty excited about her "Baby Heber", though. Gideon-boy, however, couldn't have cared less. He wanted Momma and he wanted her RIGHT NOW. And nobody else. (Except the water jug they give you at the hospital was a pretty cool toy, he thought.)
Anyway, we should be home by tomorrow night, all things going well (as they are right now). We love you all, and we'll keep you updated with fun pictures.
