Ian Matthew Schleicher

God is so good! Ian Matthew was born at 5:25 pm today (5-7-09). He weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 21 inches long. As you can see, he has a full head of brown hair and loves stretching his long legs. He even was sporting a duck-covered temperature sensor while he warmed up after the bath. The name "Ian" means Gift of God--how very true!
The happy family after Ian had his first bath. Kim had an epidural and did really well during the entire time of labor and delivery.
Watch out...Ian is already flexing his muscles and is excited to meet each of you.
The proud papa. Thank you for continuing to keep Ian, Kim, and me in your prayers.
