We just took some random photos of the baby just now.

William is 2 weeks old today!

Sabrina just loves her "Halloween" glasses!

Big Sister Mia loves little William. She calls him William Philip--with a little lisp on Philip!

William er vaaken

Here is a little video of baby Will, who was wide awake on Sunday night. I really think he just wanted to watch the end of the Patriots vs. Colts football game! We thought we would put this on the blog for all our family who live far away and can't see or hold him. He is 10 days old now, and it really feels like we've had him forever already. Maybe that is the lack of sleep talking, I'm not sure, but now it feels a little more complete in our family circle.

William's Sun Bed

Our poor little William, has a really high Bilirubin count, so he has to be on what the call the "Billa Bed" to help lower his count. It looks like something from the movie "E.T." as it glows blue when it is on. He does a pretty good job of being content in the bed most of the day. It has been really hard on me to not be able to hold him all day. This has definitely been the hardest newborn we've had, and Kenneth has quite eloquently stated "This is the last, I can't handle anymore!"

So it seems for now, that we have our caboose. Let's pray today is the last day he'll need to go tanning!

Here is a video I took of Mia today with William. She is singing to him, and the last 2 songs are Norwegian songs.

Baby William

William Philip was born November 5th, 2009 at 3:24pm. He weighed in at 9lbs 1 oz (4112 grams) and was 21.5 inches long (54.6 cm). He was born with more jet black hair than any of my other children. We can actually comb his hair.

The time in the hospital was nice, but it is good to be home. The children absolutely adore baby Will and practically time each other when they are holding him. I am sure there will be many more entries to come concerning the baby, funny things to write from the children's comments etc.


In his hospital bed

Here is one that was really funny, Mom hear Spencer and Sabrina talking while "watching" the baby sleep.
Spencer: "Well do you think this is the last one?"

Sabrina: "I don't know?"
Spencer:"Well he looks like the last one."

In his car seat ready to go home.

After his first bath at home.

After his bath, we combed his hair!

The lighting was really bad, so for some reason the side of William looks yellow, he isn't that yellow.
