You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman

Nine pounds, 5.3 ounces of natural woman! Merritt Anderson Gindlesperger arrived Sunday morning, August 24th (missing Nicole & Kim's birthdays by just one day) at 3:56am. Short, fast labor, a few pushes and out came our big boy! We had a little more time to spare than with Miles Avery's birth, but not much - just the way I like it - get there, get them out and be done with it! Despite the fact that Merritt is a boy, Mason still wanted to name him Marguerite.

All is quiet here on the home front - Mason & Miles Avery are still with my parents. Tomorrow we'll see what a real life episode of My Three Sons looks like (please pray)!
