Our Sweet man is here!!!

Our sweet little boy has finally joined the family!!! Mason Neal Clinger entered the world this morning at 7:40 am, he weighs 6 pounds 11.4 ounces and is 20 inches long. His hair is thick and jet black with just the tiniest hint of curl to it! He is perfect! Momma and baby are both doing wonderfully!

Little Mason, finally with a moment to himself!

Melinda and I were talking today, and we are amazed that little Mason is alreay here with us. In retrospect, we're asking where the time went. We waited for him for several years, and we're so excited that he is finally here. Its kind of comical the way we have stared at him all day, (we must be stalkers), but he seems so beatiful and perfect. I think he knows how much his mom and day truly love him.

YEAH!!! Congratulations, he is perfect, you don't look so bad yourself, Mel. As for you Micah - you look like a great father. Congrats again!

Wahoo! Congratulations!!!! The Verleys came over for pinochle tonight...just makes the day all that more special. :-) You all look so happy and beautiful together! Babies are so sweet when they are that fresh from heaven. Enjoy every moment. Bohdan had his four month check up yesterday and he's just shy of 17 pounds...so enjoy him while he's so small, cause they grow way too fast. Get some sleep and keep posting pics. We love you!

I am sorry! I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone - there is no other pain like that in the entire world. Don't worry though, it will go away soon.

It's great to hear from you guys! Adam and I kept wonderering when you would turn up. You've got a beautiful baby! Congratulations! Just remember in those first weeks that you have to get aquainted with this little one - they have personality all their own. That was probably the best advice I got cause it really does get crazy!
