Baby Jack is born!

Jack William Kelley

10:07 a.m.

8lbs 14oz

19 3/4" long

Don't they look great??!
I had to swoop by w/baby Andy~ and deliver a "Brest Friend" feeding pillow!
It was such a great help to us- I couldn't help but get one for her too. Funny, I told some random pregnant Mom at Babies R Us how great it was while buying it... "Oh, I've used pillows for my last two just fine." Ummmm, ok, heh-heh-m-heh.... But seriously, I (we) would have suffered without it.
Anyhow, Sara reported that Jack was one of three red-heads that day!

Soon after I arrived, Sara's Mom did:I am glad I could capture these photos for her!
An admitting nurse came in so our visit was interrupted (ok, usual hospital b.s. I encountered also)... but Andy started fussing for a meal anyhow so I fed him in the solarium and we took off to beat the rainy-day traffic home. A nurse held Andy for me while I went to the bathroom and when I came back, they were all gathered around- amazed at how big he was- in just 2 months!

Every day is new excitement- he has become quite the conversationalist in coo and oohs and ahhhs and such. Last night, he set an all-time sleep recond of 10 hours 15 minutes and as a bonus, I slept 9 hours straight. Can't recall the last time that happened!
Speaking of bed, tomorrow is a big day, his 2-month appointment and first-ever immunizations! YIKES!!!

Visit to Sara Kelley's

Nancy, Bob & Sam and Andy & I visited Sara and Scott at their new house in Pembroke, on Sara's due date yesterday! Baby Jack is as happy to stay in the womb and also a big guy, estimated over 9 pounds!

Sara was good at getting smiles out of Andy!

The Hennessey family. Sam is also a big boy, he just turned 2 on July 1st!

Andy tried out Jack's bouncy chair- and for the first time, played with the dangly toys! After coming home, he started to enjoy the toys on his bouncy chair, too! (Lights and music activate when a toy is kicked.)

This is fun!

All happy.

Sara, Nan and I went for a walk with Andy and the dog Ben, around the old cranberry bog in her backyard. There was evidence of all sorts of critters back there, and tons of frogs!
I, of course, found some cranberries to eat.
Not quite at their prime yet- 1/2 red now.

The Kelley house from across the bog. They have 5 bathrooms!
My favorite part of her house is the back porch, overlooking the bog.

Ben found his old tennis ball and wanted to play!
