Introducing Thomas Alexander Herway!

Thomas Alexander Herway has arrived!!! He was born Sunday, April 27 at 8:07am. 7 pounds 8 ounces, 19 inches long (all around smaller than Rachel was). He received a perfect ten Apgar score and has been such a good baby. He hardly cries and eats really well. He is already such a joy. We came home from the hospital today and Rachel was so excited to see baby Tommy. She's already been a really helpful older sister. We think the two of them have a lot of similar features. We're excited for this new adventure with "kidS."

Rachel looks a little bewildered. But I guess I'll believe your report that she is adapting to the little brother....she is too cute for words!Oh, and I'm jealous your mom is the first of family to get to see him! Have fun Alyson!

Oh wow!!! We love our new cousin. Tommy is so handsome. He does look a lot like Rachel did, except I think he has less hair? I don't know, I am not the best at remembering even how my own kids looked. Needless to say you guys are well on your way to being a totally legit, way beautiful family. Mel, you look so happy and relieved. I am so happy for you guys. Congrats, Congrats. I just wish that we could make a little 20 minute drive to see him. I can't hardly wait until July. . .

He's so sweet! I didn't know Rachie whent she was born, but I'll go along with everyone else and say that Tommy looks like Rachel too! :) I can't wait to see him in person!

I just came back to watch the slide show for the tenth time. The kids love watching the pictures. I think Zane has watched at least five times. Tommy really is so cute. Congrats again.
