Welcome, Liam Richard!

Our good friends and avid blog readers Sarah and Bill have become the proud new parents of Liam Richard, born yesterday at 10:44 pm, weighing in at 8.8 lbs and measuring 21.6 inches. After over 27 hours of labor, I thought Sarah deserved a little shout out. And who knows, little Liam could be a future boyfriend to one of the Sheehan girls some day. Well, probably not, if Chris has anything to do with it.

Speaking of weigh ins, we had our overdue 9 month check up on Friday. Hailey is 19 lbs 2 oz and 28 1/2 inches. Riley came in at a strong 19 lbs 10 oz and 28 3/4 inches. It still amazes me that Riley has overtaken her sister by a half pound since she came into this world a half pound smaller. Both girls are smack in the 50th percentile on height and weight. Not bad for those little preemie peanuts who were born at a 1/4 the size they are now. The check up was filled with other delightful things such as flu shots and blood drawing, but I'll spare the gory details.
