The long anticipated day came on January 14, 2011 at 9:41am when we welcomed our new little baby boy, Blake Thomas Johnson, to our family. He was born weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 inches long. By the time we left the hospital though he was down to 7 lbs. 10 oz. (we've never had a baby that small before). People kept commenting on how big he was and we would just laugh because we thought he was so tiny!
Blake came into this world via c-section and all went well and very smoothly. I, Rosanne, am recovering quite well and it's been my easiest recovery yet! Unfortunately little Blake started off with some issues with jaundice and after having his heel pricked for blood 6 times, being weighed at the doctor's office daily and being under a phototherapy blanket 24/7 for a few days he's finally jaundice FREE! As hard as we tried to keep the germs away, his loving older brother, Hunter, shared his cold germs and now our little guy has a cold. Other than that he is a healthy and happy baby.
He really is the best baby I've ever had or seen. He rarely ever cries and if he does it only lasts a few seconds. He is such a sweet and happy boy and is so adorable too. We are all so in love with him and the kids are adjusting well to having another baby around.
Here are some pictures of little Blake Thomas Johnson. Enjoy!
