Welcoming Baby Clay

August 31st, 2011 my wife Bree gave birth to a son. After several days of deliberation following the birth, we finally settled on the name Clayton Daniel. The name Clayton closely beat out Calvin and Corbin in the final competition.

Bree put in another gutsy performance and with the help of our Doula Pam and Nurse Cindy Clayton was born after a very long and mostly uneventful night in the hospital. After about 10 in the morning things began to progress quickly until Clayton was finally born at 12:41. He was 8lbs 10oz and 20.25 inches.
Rachel, who turned 3 in July, has been a terrific big sister. after a few weeks the novelty of having a baby around the house is wearing off a bit, but she has displayed great affection for her baby brother and has often gone out of her way to be helpful.
