Carter Dean Miedema arrived at 8:56 AM today. He has ten fingers and ten toes and is doing very well. He is 7 lb and 14 oz. Multiple nurses have complimented him on his "nicely shaped head", which is pretty good as far as baby compliments go. Mom and dad are tired but doing well. Hailey and Taylor have met their brother and Taylor was quite shy for about 10 seconds ... she attempted to poke him in the eye within the first few minutes. Overall, mom and dad are overjoyed. We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
