I know this is long overdue! Charlie Barton Pieper was born on January 16th after nearly three days of labor. Note to all of you aspiring mom's ...don't do that...three days is too long and not advisable :)

BUT, despite the long labor he was and is well worth it. It has been a little tricky getting a good pic between feedings, diaperings, and every once and a while catching a wink of sleep. None the less here he is!

Also, one day prior on the 15th Whitaker Thomas Pieper (Charlie's cousin) was born at nearly 10 lbs! Baby and mom are doing well and it is only a matter of time before the three Pieper boys start wreaking havoc on the greater Minneapolis area!

Thank you to all of my dear friends who have been so supportive through the labor process, bringing meals and over all just loving us so well. We are lucky to have you.

Charlie looks forward to meeting you all very soon!
