Introducing . . .

Gouverneur (pronounced "Governor") Hawkins Fillmore: born today at 6:46 pm in Falls Church, Fairfax County, VA, 8 lbs and 7 oz, 21-1/2 inches. It was a rough labor that developed slowly but then went very quickly at the end, and by the time we realized Jessi's epidural wasn't working, it was too late to try a new one.

But other than that, it all went well and he arrived without any problems, and Jessi's doing great now and taken back all the things she said in the delivery room.

We're so glad to have another healthy, beautiful boy. We think he looks a lot like Sterling Henry, but with tons of blond hair.

Enjoy the pics below.

Congratulations! Sorry I am so late in updating myself on your blog! You need to do a post about where his name comes from--is it French?
