See how you and everyone else did, now that the results are in!

In brief, Keri, Melissa, and Jesse are winners, but check out all the details!

Our little star came shooting into the world at 6:11 pm on March 3rd, 2005. He weighed 8 lbs. 4.6 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long, Apgars were 9 and 9.

Chanler and his mom are healthy, doing well, and resting at home.

Lots and lots of pictures!

We celebrated Chanler's one week birthday today with cupcakes and a champagne toast. More pictures here.

In case anyone had any worries about Chanler's weight gain, worry no longer. A little known fact is that babies lose some weight in the few days following their birth, and usually regain birth weight within two weeks. Chanler dropped down to 7 lbs. 6 oz. by Sunday, March 6th. He impressed us and the nurses by gaining back 4 oz. Sunday night alone, and 14 oz. between Monday and today at our one week checkup.

He now weighs 8 lbs. 8oz., and if he continues at this rate, he will be a forty pound baby by June! Choice quotes from the nurse:

• Are you sure you brought the same baby today?


• Is dad feeding him pizza and beer when you aren't looking?


• Well I don't think that we need to worry about his eating.

Chanler had is first Pediatrician appointment today with Dr. Joseph. Everything looks good. He weighed 9lbs 14oz!!!

Chanler showed the Dr. how strong he is (head & neck control) and even tried to have a conversation with her! (She was suprised he was vocalizing so early!)
