Baby!

Our beautiful baby boy, Logan Wayne Hendricks, was born Tuesday June 23 at 1:09 p.m., weighing in at 7 lb 13 oz, and measuring 21 inches.

We are very excited and love our little boy very much. Here are some pics...

We found that that it was time at about 11:30 at night when Shannon starting having regular contractions. She was holding up well and we waited around at home for a little while as we prepared to go to the hospital. We got to the hospital at 2:00 a.m. and Shan received an epidural at about 4:30 after she'd been showing really good progress. We rested for a little and then for the rest of the morning we just waited so she could push. Finally, at 1:09 the baby was born! We got to spend some good time bonding with our baby and Shannon finally got to rest after a long day.

It was an incredible experience and poor Shannon was of course exhausted. Shannon is recovering well, and both Shannon and the baby are very healthy.

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers, and for all the support and help we have received. We are grateful for our family and friends and are excited for the chance to spend time with our baby.
