It's official. I'm a dad now. What a rush!
Desmond Cole Pierce was born on December 20th at 11:14 AM. He weighed 7 lbs. and 15 oz. and measured 20 and 1/4 inches long.
It was a very quick and uncomplicated delivery. Both baby and mother are healthy and doing very well. I could not be more pleased with the outcome and I'm so relieved that there were no complications or other problems with little Desi's health. Chantelle was amazing too and was able to give birth without any drugs or pain management. I'm so very impressed and proud of her. We're just resting peacefully at the hospital now after many a visit from relatives and friends today.
Good night, all, and happy holidays. :)
