Yesterday was visiting day here at the hospital. Nancy brought the baby's older brothers and sister by to meet their new brother for the first time. His grandparents on my side also came by to visit (and I am sure Heidi's mom has been in and out as well). Heidi and the baby are still both doing just fine and they should be released before noon today. I know Heidi was ready to go home yesterday about this time so by now she is climbing the walls. Anyway, here are some pictures from all the activity yesterday.
So we are down to just a couple of names to choose from and a couple of hours to decide, so if you have any more suggestions go ahead and post them up as soon as you can.

What a darling baby. I'm so glad the other kids got to see him and hold him in the hospital. Heidi, you look great! I wish I could be there.
