Judah James Schaefer was born early Saturday morning. He is 7lbs 1oz, 19 1/4 in. long, has what we initially thought was blond hair, but now is looking more like a very light brown, and has quite long feet and hands (I see a future Van Cliburn or Michael Phelps…not sure which). As far as labors go, it went very well and quite quickly. Marelize was a trooper as usual and Judah was born 5 hours after arriving at the hospital.
Everyone is excited to have Judah here finally. Marelize, since she doesn’t have to carry a basketball in her stomach anymore. Malone, so she can have a “real-life” baby to take care of, sing to and eventually (an educated guess) boss around. And finally, I am excited because I now have a son for whom I can buy all sorts of wonderful things like hatchets (both the cutting tool and the book by Gary Paulson), guns, fireworks, etc. I can also make my best attempt at teaching him the Art of Manliness. He is a great joy and we’re so happy to have him in the Schaefer tribe.
Here are a few pictures from the last two days:
On the green they watched their sons
Playing till too dark to see,
As their fathers watched them once,
As my father once watched me
