MEET OUR LITTLE BEAN





Oliver was born August 22nd at about 3:45 in the morning with no complications and had a totally unmedicated birth. His weight was 7 pounds,13 ounces and he was 20" tall. Amy did so well, everyone should be very proud of her. Just look at my beautiful family







After a little mommy bonding time I got the chance to hold my son for the first time. What a great experience. This will change everything...







Peetz lips and nose, Black eyes and ears=cute as a button



This is our first family portait. Just a couple of hours old in this photo.

so it went down like this...Monday morning Amy woke up a couple of times with some pre-labor contractions. I decited to stay home from work in case anything happened. We kicked it around the house, went on a walk and helped some freinds with some chores. After that we came home and at about 3:30 Amy's water broke. We called the midwife and made some arangments to head down there at 7:30. On the way Amy's contrations where getting stronger than before. We got to the birthing center and the midwife checked Amy's cirvix,it was at about 3cm. We made arangments to go to Kari,Molly and Owen's house to labor for a while. About 11:00 we headed back to the midwifery and at that point her cirvix was about 7cm. Oliver cleared the cirvix at about 2am and Amy started to bear down. At 3:45 he was born. His cord was pretty short and he couldn't reach the breast at first .He whined and cried for a bit and pulled himself to moms boob. It was unbelivable. Welcome to the world little man.

He totally looks like a Peetz man, which shouldn't be suprising since those genes are strong, (if you've ever met the brothers and dad you would know)
I am so happy for you guys! So proud of Amy, and so sad that I am over 2000 miles away. Me + the bean at X-mas.
Love you two!
