Pierce Patrick

My nephew was born today at 5:10pm.
I got to see him briefly this evening, and he is very wonderful. It was a little hard for me to look past all the monitors attached to him and the lines coming off of everywhere, and all......but he really is adorable and I can't wait to see more of him, and get to hold him eventually.
Unfortunately, with all the visiting upstairs with Niki and the guys going outside to smoke cigars, we didn't get down stairs to see him until right at the end of visiting hours....Joe had to beg a little to get me in and Jon and Liam didn't get a chance to see him, which broke my heart because they both had really wanted to. Liam kept saying "Say ni-night to Pierce." and it was so hard to tell him he couldn't, after I'd been saying all day that he could. Hopefully he will be allowed to go in and see Pierce tomorrow.
So, I am an auntie now, which is exciting. Now, our prayers shift to being that Pierce is healthy and strong and can go home really soon instead of having to stay in the hospital.

PS I will put pictures up as soon as I have some.
