Eli James was born at 5:58 this morning. He weighs 7 lbs 6 oz and is 20″ long with LOTS of dark hair! Jamie said, “no wonder I had so much heartburn”!

Jamie is doing VERY well and I’m so proud of her! She worked long and hard for that little guy. My only concern is…will we know how to take care of a boy? He missed sharing his birthday with Grandpa by 6 hours. Darn!

    Congratulations, he’s beautiful! I’m glad to hear all are doing well. Harvest season will truly be bittersweet this year. You better stock up and get all the hugs and kisses in that you can now! 🙂

    • I’ve already told Jamie I am going to make her sign a contract stating they WILL be coming for a visit sometime during the summer! That was the FIRST thing I thought of when she told us she was expecting when we got home last September…only 6 weeks to hold a baby.

    Congratulations! Happy for your whole family that you have this wonderful, healthy boy joining you! I’m sure he will be quite familiar with the inside of a truck and combine as he grows up. And think of all the spoiling his gramma and aunts will give him! Glad Jamie and Curt did well with the delivery. Not easy being the mom/gramma in the waiting room tho! Best to you all!

    • No, Margaret, it wasn’t easy being in the waiting room but was sure fun to get the call from Curt when he said I could come in and meet my grandson! It was so good to be able to see Jamie and know she was ok. Oh…I’m sure he’ll know what a combine and truck is! I’m already counting down the years before he can come ride with me in the truck. And you know, I bet Jim’s a little ansy to get him in the combine with him! A boy….

  11. He is beautiful!! Congratulations to the Z family!

    • Thanks, Laurie!! We sure waited a long time to get to experience a little boy. I just can’t believe he’s finally here! We’ll have so much fun together in the dirt and the wheat fields!!

      • Margaret Smith says:

        Boys are attracted to dirt like metal to a magnet! And anything with a motor on it is great! 🙂

    And now you have a sweet little guy to celebrate!!!! God is so good and little Eli is so blessed to have a wonderful, CRAZY FUN family to spoil him!!! Called Mom when I got home from work—she was pleased to hear the fun news. Love all that dark hair—he`s a keeper.

    Blessings,
    Ross & Judeen

    • God is SO GOOD! I struggled with not being able to be in the room and be there with Jamie but once Curt told me I could come meet my grandson, all the other stuff just disappeared. He’s so beautiful and Jamie did such a great job! He’s an awfully good baby. I’m sure Jamie wouldn’t care if you stopped by and visited. I’ll be here for a little while.

    Congratulations!!! I know you didn’t realize how much LOVE your heart could hold until you see your first GrandBaby. I’m very Happy for you. Will be waiting to hear all the wonderful news. A Little Boy will fit into your life completely.

    • Oh Earlene!! I had no idea just how wonderful grandbabies are! Having your own kids is amazing but those other little guys are something else! He just makes my heart melt! I’m certainly going to go through withdrawals when I have to leave him in about 5 weeks! I told Jamie I was going to make her sign a contract stating she was GOING to come for a visit! She reassured me they would. 🙂
