At 3:21 this afternoon, I had this bundle of joy in my arms. Well, this picture was taken a little later, but you know what I mean. Yes, I am a proud mama again and so is Daddy over here (he’s been holding him more than me *grin*).
Would anyone like to meet Simon?
The new monkey came in at 8lbs 3oz and was a whopping 20.5 inches long. Which means, we definitely have a winner from the Baby Pool. Sara M, from Sara’s Urban Fantasy Blog, nailed all the information on the head. I think Sara has some psychic ability. *grin* Sara, you won the second gift card…send me an email as to where you would like it to (with the one caveat that I can buy it online) and I’ll get it sent out to you.
With Simon’s arrival, this means I will definitely be taking a few days off. While I’m gone, make sure you come back for these great author visits:

I choose yesterday b/c it’s my mom’s birthday, and guess the weight b/c my brother was also born in August and he was a large baby. I guess I’m a tiny bit psychic. And I’m sending the e-mail now.
Congrats on the new edition! He’s adorable (and so is the little hat)!
I’m so happy for you and Jesse! Simon is absolutely precious! I hope you guys are doing well and that you have a quick and easy recovery from labor! :)

Thanks everyone! Simon is definitely a keeper. Especially if he stays as calm as he has been the last 36 hours or so. He’s done nothing but sleep which has allowed me to rest more than I thought I would. *grin*

You and he are awesome! Now, stop blogging and get to cuddling, and I’m sure resting up would be good too:) You rock.
