No, that's not a typo, he was nearly 10 lbs! In fact, the nurse said it was safe to just call it an even 10! And how about that name! I think it's just adorable. They've been tossing around a few different names for the last few months and Cash actually didn't come to them until just last night. Eli is Beth's way of getting her name in there somewhere (the first 3 letters of her name) since she lost out on that with a girl! She was given pitocin this morning at about 7am. She seemed to progress slowly all morning and then all of a sudden things picked up and after about 5 minutes of pushing, little Cash made his debut. His face is a little blue and bruised because he came through so quickly but the doctors say it should go away in a day or two. I talked to Beth a little while ago and Mom and baby are both doing well tonight. She is tired and still trying to grasp the fact that she is a Mama to 2 boys! It just doesn't seem like a reality yet! Here are a few pictures that Aunt Debbie took shortly after Cash was born:
I cried when I saw this. Isn't it just so sweet?Big Brother Cade spent the day at Aunt Debbie's house playing with Maddy and having a grand old time:
I'm pretty sure he's oblivious to the fact that his entire world is about to be rocked. They showed him pictures of Cash and Mommy tonight and he just kept saying, "That's MY mommy! That's my mommy!" They told him that was his new baby, too, but he didn't seem to get it. He only cared that his mommy was in that picture! I've seen this boy with babies though and I know he is just going to fall in love with Cash!Daddy went home to spend the night with Cade while Grammy Gaye is staying at the hospital with Mom and Cash. Cade will meet his new brother some time tomorrow. I think Beth is hoping to be out of the hospital by tomorrow evening. I'm sure someone will post more pics soon! Congrats to the Brookses!

Beth,
Congrats! Being a mom to boys is the greatest thing! Love his name, we tossed that name around with Tyler, but had to stick with a president's name. I am so happy for your family!
