The name is...

Zachary Dean Brenchley! Little Zach arrived at 11:16 pm barely making it for Cinco de Mayo. His official weight was 6lbs 8oz, there was a little discrepancy on his weight. He was 20 inches long and had a apgar score of 9! He has a perfectly round little head and isn't swollen or anything.

He came out covered in 'cheese', as the nurse called it. I had some friends come and take pictures of the great event (THANKS guys SO much) so you could all feel part of it. Ok, I won't post any of those pictures but here he is minutes after being born covered in 'cheese'.


This is how he has been feeling ever since, tired! He is a sleepy little guy until about 1-2am then he is ready to party. He stays awake for about 3 hours and then he is asleep the rest of the day.

It was so nice for Phil to have a few days off. We had our own little mini vacation. Room service food, cable tv, people coming in the room at all hours of the night to talk, no kids running around being loud, whirl pool bathtub. Apart from the super uncomfortable beds, and some other non pleasant things associated with giving birth it was actually nice to have the quiet time.

I'm also happy you guys were able to decide on a name, super cute! Trey & I think he looks a lot like Nate. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm excited to see the cute announcements you made.

So cute!!!! Abbie will be JEALOUS that McKell has a little Zachary. That was at the top of our list and Abbie was SET on it. But Steve switched since our last name starts with a k and people would call him Zach and have the double k sound *who cares really, but...Abbie SOBBED on the couch because she really wanted that name!!! I LOVE the name too and pushed for it until the end!!! He is so cute and CONGRATS, Congrats, congrats!!!! We LOVE HIM!!!!

SO are you up now? Cause every time I think to call you I worry you're sleeping...

Zach! I love it!! What a cutie!! Phil said he looks a lot like Nate did. I can't wait to talk to you and find out how it all went. Isn't it funny how with more kids the stay in the hospital is like a little vacation-too funny. Glad he is here, healthy, happy and named! Congrats on Zach arriving and naming him-no small feat for you. he he he!

Reta said...

Congrats, Nicole! He is very cute and you look great! I'm glad everything went well. Good luck with everything.

karen said...

Happy Cinco de Mayo indeed! He's just presh. Staying at that birthing center at UIHC really is like a spa experience--especially the nice new clean whirlpool tubs. I kinda miss Dr. Hunter.

Hope that baby is one mellow fellow!!

Sarah said...

Nicole,
He is a beautiful little boy. Congratulations!

Unknown said...

Way to Go Nicole!! He's very sweet, even covered all in "Cheese". Where are all my friends when I need them to take pictures for me? How am I even going to translate Zachary in to Spanish? Fine I'll just call him Pedro anyway. Glad you made it into this world healthy, Pedro!
