Well the big day finally came Brian and Raina welcomed Brighton Hans Bourne. Born at 4:59pm March 27, 2008. He weighed 7lbs9oz and was 20 inches long and has a head full of hair. Raina did great and her and Brian are both proud, happy parents. . . we won't talk about the lack of sleep you get with a new born!!!!
Abbi and I went up to visit with Raina and Brian before the big event, I think Abbi was even more exited than them. . . . figurativly speaking she kept pacing and egarly awaited, asking every so often "when can we go see Raina and the Baby", or "can't Raina just have him so we can go see him?" I guess some day she will understand the complexity of "just having a baby"!!!!
We were joined by Rainas' father, mom and sister who too eagerly awaited being able to see the newest member. We all stood outside the doors like vultures waiting to pounce. . . exept in a more pleasant way!!!!
We were finally allowed in, "ahhh he is sooooo cute", "I think he looks like brian", "look at all that hair", "look at those eyes, he has such sweet eyes", " mama how you doing?". We got to watch them draw some blood and get him all nice and cozy to go back to mama.
Of course, Grandma Bourne was in hot pursuit on the freeway we often burn between here and Helena. Giddy as ever she couldn't wait to see another one of her cute grandbabies. We have quite the little clan we are building now thanks to James/Amber and now Brian/Raina.
Yesterday we took the kids up to see the baby. Issac is soo exited to know there is another boy he can play with. He told his dad, "I need a baby brother just like Brain and Rainas' baby". The pressure that a comment can lend ehhhh!!! Of course, Abbi and Issac couldn't get enough both wanting to hold baby Brighton constently neither wanting to share with anyone.
Issac had to check out every little inch of the babies body to make sure it was all there. He was especially facinated with the wierd belly button clamp he had on. His little feet, his little toes. . . Issac says he wants a baby just like this when he gets older so he can hold him as long as he wants and even get to carry him around!!
Apicture with Grandma Bourne Bourne and her babies, we are only missing Jaxon but only in picture we were all thinking about how lucky we are to have such cute, healthy babies around us. We wish we could see him more often.
