Busy day for the Kellys

June 21st was a busy day for the Kelly family. Pat woke me up at around 1:30 am and calmly told me to get my ass out of bed and drive her to the hospital. We were in the birthing suite by 2am.
At 5:15 Pat starting pushing, and at 5:45 we were blessed with our son, Jamison Patrick Kelly.(20 inches,7 lbs 14 oz.).
Pat was ready to go home at around 10am, but we stayed in the hospital until Saturday.
We've just celebrated a week, and are enjoying every minute of it, even the 3am feeding! Pictures are in the gallery.

Meet my son

Not bad looking for what he just went through

Isn't she a hottie!

Now that's a good looking bunch

Though she's a little nervous

Big sister is already in charge

Thanks everyone!

The Jameson (whiskey) didn't get consumed at the hospital. I've got a few bottles now at home, and am actively trying to figure out what to drink it with. I can't do it straight. I'm trying one with ginger ale right now. It's not bad. Need to find the right drink to truely enjoy the Jameson in honor of Jamison Very Happy
