Saunders Jones IV is here!

Baby SJ4 is now officially the newest member of our little family!
He was born via scheduled c-section on Tuesday, August 17 at about 8:00 am.  He's a big boy - 8lb, 15 oz and 20.5 inches long.  The c-section went much better than I expected.  So far, it has been easier than my induced vaginal delivery and recovery from Katie Anne's birth!  Baby SJ4 is absolutely precious and is making it really easy on us parents - he's a great little sleeper, a good eater, and just so sweet to hold!

I'll do more posts later with details about his birth day and all of that, but for now I posted just a few of the pictures made of us yesterday.  To see more pictures - including SJ4 with his grandparents, one set of his aunts/uncles, and more of the super big sister KA - you can view my Facebook album by clicking here.  I'll add more pictures to that album soon!

Just a few pictures from Big Sister Katie Anne's first visit:


Mommy in her new earrings - Pandora earrings with August's birthstone in honor of SJ4.  Daddy did such a great job picking out a special present to celebrate Saunders IV's birthday.  I love them!
