My nephew, Joel Grayden Chiasson, was born at 8:15am yesterday, July 29th and was 9lbs 3oz at birth and they aren't sure how long he is yet cuz every time they go to measure him he puts his feet up by his head :) He's beautiful and perfect and I keep staring at his pictures! Here's one that Michael sent me.
You can't really see him there very well. When I get some more pictures downloaded I'll post some. The c-section went well. It was very fast and Heather seems to be doing well. My parents and a few other people got to go visit yesterday. I'm going down on Wednesday and staying until Saturday. So Greg and Amy if you want to make plans we should start trying to make them now :) I'm so excited to have this baby as a part of my family. My brother and Heather were trying for a while and I know they're both going to be amazing parents. It's going to make a huge change in their lives but I believe it'll be a change for the best. Oh and Joel's middle name, Grayden, is in honour of my dad and Heather's dad, Andre and Gary. I think that's a nice idea since they found a real name that is a mash up of their two names, not like a certain sparkly vampire book baby :P I'm not sure why they chose Joel but I think it's a very nice name. The guitarist for Tony's band pointed out that it works well as a bilingual name. Having a French last name I find that important. Welcome to the world Joel :)
