Welcome Eli Samuel Stephens!!!

Happy Birthday Eli!!!

Eli Samuel Stephens arrived today, July 9th at 3:51 PM after 18 grueling hours of labor for Mommy (no epidural and lots of Pitocin...YIKES!!!). He weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs, 2 ozs and is 19 1/2 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair just like his daddy. Here's a couple pics we have. Most of the good ones are on both grandmas' cameras and so we will get those soon.
