Introducing Bobby Irish!
(At least that is what I will call him on my blog. I don’t go by my kids’ real names for their privacy and protection.)
We welcomed him into the world on November 28 at 6:52 pm. He weighed 8 lb. 15 oz. and was 21 inches long.
He has brown hair and brown eyes (You’ll have to seem my update on this. I have a confession.) and looks a lot like my girls did as newborns. He does indeed have a big head, short legs, and very long feet, but he does not look like a hobbit. Ha ha!
It has been an extremely busy few days. We managed to call both of our parents while at the hospital and that was the extent of our communication with the outside world during our stay. So far we’ve only taken a few pictures; I’m way behind. Be patient with me! I don’t think I got more than six hours of sleep in my entire hospital stay. What is with those people going in and out of the rooms day and night? Housekeeping at 5:00 in the morning–for crying out loud! Ah well, we are alive and doing pretty well anyway!
Congratulations! It is so good to hear that yo are both doing well, what a blessing. Get plenty of rest and enjoy this time, it goes by way too fast.
Congratulations! Nothing like falling in love with your newborn! Best wishes to you all and find a way to get some sleep as best you can!
Hey Esther! Congratulations! He is precious!
God Bless,
PJ

As for hospital stays, I completely understand! My little guy just HAD to have his bath at 2 a.m.
Rest up and take care of that little guy!

He is ADORABLE. Congratulations to you and all blessings for your child. (I love the “hobbit” comment!)

Great picture! Welcome Baby Bobby!! Enjoy all your snuggles.
Wonderful – I’ve been looking forward to the first pic, and look forward to reading about his adventures in the months (and years) ahead …
You both look great! I’ve been anxiously awaiting some pics 🙂 Congrats and I’m glad all went well, you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers. Funny how you ‘get to know’ people on the web, isn’t it? Happy snuggles to you and the rest of the family 🙂
Congratulations, Esther!!!! (and thanks for the disclosure about the names for people like me haha.)
Best picture ever!!!!! Congrats to all of you. And may God bless you and all your family!
Congratulations Esther!!!! I’m so happy everyone is healthy and well. My advice as a mom of 7: eat simple meals, even if it’s just sandwiches (your kids will survive), let others take the kids out for a bit, and don’t feel guilty if you can’t do everything!
Congrats to the whole Irish family! He is beautiful!
Congratulations Esther!! That’s a lovely picture of you and Bobby! You look amazing for someone who had just given birth! 🙂
Congratulations!
Yay! He’s perfectly handsome. 🙂
Awwwwwwww!!! Congratulations, Esther! Such a sweet little face. I can’t wait to see more, more, MORE pictures of him. But, I’ll be patient! :o)
congrats!!! 🙂

Congrats! He is precious, I love a baby with a big head (easy to say when you don’t give birth to them, right!?!) And housekeeping at 5am….NO thank you! I hope you are soaking up all his baby goodness!
Congratulations on the new baby Boy, Glad to see everything went well.>>

Congratulations! He looks perfectly perfect!
I’ve just caught up on reading all the blogs after getting home from our trip, visiting other relatives after we left you. I read people telling you to relax and enjoy the rest–yeah, right. Jason has to work, of course, and the four active, noisy “blessings” all clamor for attention. Yes, they are definitely blessings, but they don’t quit being normal for a new brother. I pray for you “without ceasing.”
You are beautiful in this picture! And little Bobby is just perfect. I LOVE how he’s gazing up at you! Just precious!
Congratulations!
