Mark Robert Bangs is here

Mark was born on June 11, 2008 at 10:38 am. He weighed in at 7 lb. 12 oz. and measured 20.5 inches. He's now a little over 3 weeks old and now weighs 8 lb. 1 oz. and measures 21.5 inches. We're doing well as a family now. Mark's on a pretty consistent routine and last night, Mom and Dad had the best night ever. Mark slept well and went for a couple of 4 hour stretches. We can't believe our little boy is almost a month old.

Just a few more weeks to go!

Stephanie's officially in the 9th month of her pregnancy. The doctor said she thought Mark would come 2 weeks early, which means we might just have a week and a half more to go. The nursery is pretty much ready to go, although Stephanie would like to work on the closet more. She started having some crazy contractions last night that came pretty close together. We were at a loss, since we've never done this before. Turns out it was just some out of control Braxton Hicks because Stephanie did a little too much yesterday. David proved to be an excellent coach! Stephanie's in good hands. We'll keep you posted on our little bundle of joy!
