Charles Richard Heinz

Arrived right on schedule (at least for his scheduled c-section date) at 7:55 AM on Halloween morning. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long. He was my smallest baby and by the time he left the hospital on Monday he weighed 7 lbs. 5 ounces. He has been a great baby so far and has not been that much of a problem sleeper. He alternates between good nights and bad nights. Ben and I are adjusting to the interruptions. He hardly ever cries and is easily pacified when he does. His big brother and big sister have adapted well to Baby Charlie and have been big helps. We are looking forward to a great winter together. Hopefully I will be up and about by next week and able to do things on my own. We were grateful to have my mom and ben's mom as well as some close family friends always available to help out. Here are just a few pics for the time being.
