Sweet Baby Boy

“A Baby is a Little Bit of Heaven on Earth”– Unknown
 
On Saturday, November 3, 2012, we welcomed our new son, Robert Everett Pouliot into our family.  He challenged his Momma throughout the whole pregnancy by threatening to collapse her very bone structure (kidding of course) and to arrive early on several occasions.  We knew all along he wouldn’t wait until his due date.  And we were quite convinced that AJ was “the good child” (oh help us, Lord!).  After several weeks of “false labor” (I hate that term…labor is labor…the contractions were very real, very close together, and very regular…trust me…it was real labor Winking smile ), we arrived at the hospital after another sleepless night of contractions, prepared to be sent home again.  But this time, it would turn out that it really was TRUE labor and we would have our baby boy.

Welcome Robert Everett Pouliot! 
Born: Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 12:27 PM
Weight: 8 lbs, 13 oz
Length: 20.5 inches
 
(Note that Robert weighed the exact same as AJ at birth…except he arrived two weeks earlier than expected.  Imagine the size of this kid had he decided to sit tight for another two weeks!!  Robbie is also 3 inches shorter than his big brother was.)

Named after his maternal grandfathers: Robert Dion and Everett Laramee.

Robbie is a dream baby…such a love! So far, he is a much calmer baby than his big brother (although he had me convinced of the exact opposite for the last nine months). He’s a good eater and an excellent sleeper (except…he sleeps at the WRONG times…we’ll work on fixing that Winking smile ). And he always seems to be smiling!

My three favorite guys.  (AJ's & Adam's face say it all...the reception is less than warm...for now)
Getting ready to go home...
