Welcome William Beckham Dick

Love multiplies it doesn't divide!!

Our handsome little man was born on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 1:36pm. He was 8 pounds and 4 ounces- just like Jane- and was 19 inches long- also just like Jane...Boy, I really know how to cook em :) The labor was so pleasant- yes,I said pleasant, and our little guy was healthy and happy!! I am a pleased momma!!

The first few days of Beckham's life were not without drama though. Beckham's circumcision went slightly awry and he bled more than normal and we had to stay an extra night in the hospital- poor little guy. And the worst thing that Beckham has had to endure was a sinus infection- very rare in newborns!! He couldn't breath and therefore couldn't eat!! It was so horrible to watch him struggle to breath- I shed many tears over that!! But he has been on medication and that is really clearing up and all is well again at the Dick house!!

Here is little Beckham being weighed!!
Here he is with his mommy for the first time!! Love at first sight!
I have a picture of Jane when she was first born and she is in this exact same position- they look so much alike!!
Here is Beckham at home awaiting a diaper change...never fun for him!! He has already peed during this process several times and soiled our bed, my clothes, his very own face...yikes. I have since then wised up and the "old faithful" pee episodes have since diminished- ahhh, boys!!
He's so handsome and such a good boy despite all he has been through!
Here is Jane holding her new little brother, Beckham!!! They currently have a love/hate relationship...though I know it will get better :)
And here is just a cute pic of Jane "feeding" her bunny with aunt Christina's hooter hider. Two year olds really watch and observe, don't they?! She is so cute!!
So, our little family of three is now our little family of four and we are so happy!! And love most definately multiplies, not divides!! Thank you to everyone who has been helping with Jane and bringing meals over- it has been so needed and such a life saver. We love you all!!
