He's Here!



















Has anyone else noticed the sun shining more brightly lately? Maybe it just seems that way to us…

Levi Rush Dickson was born on this past Monday, November 5, 2007 at 5:19 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds and 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. The labor started by induction, that morning at 6 a.m. The pushing started at 2 p.m. and three long, long, long hours (no epidural!) later he was born.

The baby is doing well and so is his Momma. Unfortunately, his Daddy got a horrible and violent stomach virus of some sort just several hours after the birth. The next day Levi’s Nana and Poppa came down sick as well. The three of them had to be quarantined and sadly banned from the hospital room. Thankfully the worst has passed and they are doing better.

We were discharged from the hospital this afternoon and got to bring home our beautiful baby. What a wonderful day! We’re excited, thankful, and exhausted. Thanks for your prayers and sharing your excitement with us.

Wow. What a super trooper. He decides to show up right when I'm leaving. How convenient for somebody. I guess I'll have to raid your home when you ain't feeling up to having visitors, but don't worry, I won't bring any food.

Congratufrickintabulosoations to all of you!!!

Enjoy Life Dickson Clan!!
