Gavin Robert McGuire

Gavin at 3 days old

Sorry that we haven't posted anything about Gavin until today. We've just taken advantage of the past few days to rest. Gavin was born on Monday, April 27th at 6:06 a.m. He weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs. 9 oz. and was 18.5 in. long. He also had a bunch of dark hair which kind of surprised us because Brody didn't really have any hair when he was born.

Erica decided to come home on Tuesday because she didn't trust me watching Brody....ha! It was great that she was feeling so well to come home and I was excited to have both her and Gavin home.

We are so excited to have another little one at home! Erica still has the pleasure of being the only girl at home and now 3 boys to take care of her.....er, to take care of ;)



Gavin scratched himself pretty good the first day


What a cute family! Can you tell Brody is tired?


Brody's first time holding Gavin. What a nice big brother! Cute boys!

Congratulations! He is so adorable and I am so excited he is here. We really wish we lived closer so we could bring your guys some dinner and meet little Gavin! And Erica, how come you ALWAYS look so GOOD???? I mean, you just had a baby and you look so great! If I EVER posted pictures of me when I was in the hospital with Jackson, I don't think anyone would believe me that it was actually me.... I looked that bad. I wish I could look as good as you!

Congrats! He is so handsome, I love all his dark hair. Isn't it exciting to bring a new little person home to your family. Soon it will seem like he has always been there, or it might even feel like that now.
