Our Newest Crew Member

Disclaimer: This is my (Aaron's) first attempt at a blogspot post. So please bear with me if it isn't as creative or doesn't flow as well as when my sweet wife does it. But here goes:

In true fashion of the males in the McGrew family, Reid arrived totally off schedule and unannounced. For those who haven't been caught up yet, Haley had recently started dealing with high blood pressure issues. Because her BP kept creeping up, the risk of keeping her pregnant outweighed the risk of delivering Reid early. So, Thursday night we were off to the operating room. Several minutes later, a screaming baby boy emerged. He was born on July 9, 2009 at 9:20 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. Thankfully, he is absolutely healthy in spite of arriving a month early. The recovery has been pretty tough on Haley and the meds they gave her have left her feeling like she's been hit by a freight train.

Thank you to all who have been praying for us and taking such good care of us.

This is Landon peering through the nursery window saying "babee, babee, babee..."
