Brody Phillip Blake


He is here! He is here! After waiting for an extra week, our doctor graciously induced labor on Saturday. Brody Phillip was born on December 11th at 9:41pm weighing in at a hefty 8 pounds 12 ounces and stretching 21 inches long. The labor went faster than what was expected and he is healthly...and stinkin' adorable (looks very similar to Miss Addie at birth). Chris and I were able to surprise Papa with Brody's middle name being named after him since Papa has been such an influential man in Chris's life. It was sweet to see him a bit speechless when he heard the name choice. Addie was been an amazing big sister from the start and is enjoying watching "Baby Brother" throughout the day. All in all, it's great to be home and adjust to a family of four. Thank you to all our friends and family for the prayers...God is so gracious and Brody is truly more perfect than words.
