On October 27, at 5:59 pm, we welcomed our latest (and last?) addition to the West family...Joshua Benjamin. Caleb and Miriam both independently confirmed to me that Joshua was their first choice for a name. Suzanne said she couldn't single out one from her short list of preferred first names, but she wanted Benjamin as the middle name. So, there you have it... Joshua Benjamin West. We plan on calling him Joshua.
Mom and baby are both healthy, and we arrived home from the hospital this evening. Dad is also doing fine, thanks for asking. Joshua weighed in at 7 lbs., 10 oz., and he was 20.5" in length. Believe it or not, Nathanael has been surprisingly gentle with Joshua and likes to hold his little brother. I have posted a few pictures in our family photo album (link to the right). I hope to post a video when I have the chance. Keep checking back for updates!
