Homecoming - 12.27.05

Well, a lot has happened since the last posting. It took Kim another 8 hours or so to fully dialate. Not bad. At 10:30pm Doctor Simms gave us the go-ahead to start pushing. Kim did awesome! After only 6 or 7 sets of pushing, Dasan Blake popped right out. 10:48pm on 12/25/05.

Dasan is a very healthy 9 lbs 3.3 oz and 21 inches long. He is handsome as all-get-out... a blond-haired, blue-eyed hunk. Can't wait to introduce him to you.

We checked out of the hospital this morning around 10. Figuring out the car seat was an adventure, but as soon as Dasan took a breath of fresh air on the way to the car all his worries dissolved.

It's awesome to have Dasan at the house. Abby (our 3 yr old boxer) and Dasan hit it off. Abby gently checked out her new friend. Every time Dasan squeaks Abby empathizes with a little squeaking of her own - I think Abby is pretty emotionally intelligent. You've gotta check out the great shot of Abby, Kim, and Dasan curled up on the love-seat together under the "Newly Born" tab on the website (kimandryanhill.com). Literally one big happy family.

We'll keep ya posted as Dasan keeps growing...
