Welcome Kasaan Julius Jennings!

Bird's water broke at 11 pm on Thursday night. This was about that same time on Friday night. She was and is my hero! What a job.














Brian Marsh--a old college and DC friend was up for a visit. Little did he know he was going to get the surprise of his life. He was amazing and played worship songs during much of Bird's labor. We laughed we sang, it was from God. Very relaxing.








The joy that was in Bird's hear at the time of the birth was overpowering. She says that the pushing was her most joyous moments in life. Kasaan came within 20 minutes of her pushing. Its just all over her face (not so much his) but she is so happy!





















A good profile shot!












We see a lot of Grandpa Byrne in baby Kasaan. I think its cause he's going to be so tough! Or it maybe that Julius has an alternative meaning (aside from Kind) of "downy-bearded youth" So who knows maybe he'll have a white beard someday like Poppy!









Brandi--is Brian's wonderful wife and she was able to fly in on Saturday for the Kassan birthday. I'm not even sure if she had to pack her toothbrush because before you could spell Kasaan Julius Jennings she and B had to head back to DC. But we are so thankful they were able to be here for such a special day.




Bird and one of the many wonderful nurses putting Kasaan in his car seat.








This is the video of Kassan being weighed in.





The beauty and the beast! I'm telling you Bird looks better than me! She was amazing.
