He's here!

After a longer-than-expected wait, our baby boy, Gage Christian Wagner, has arrived. Jessie and Dave headed to the hospital after Noah went to bed on Friday night, and before Noah was awake the next morning, baby Gage had arrived. Let me assure you, however, that despite the quick trip from pregnant to parent, Jessie worked plenty hard.


Gage arrived at a healthy 8 lbs and just over 20 inches long. As you can see, he has plenty of dark hair and he also has a wonderful temperament (i.e. he sleeps all the time).


After a short stay at the hospital we made it home so that Jessie can rest in her big comfy bed, and so that we can enjoy a few more days with Grandma Woodworth before she heads back to Washington.


We’re happy to share our good news with you and hope you’re all well.

Can I just chime in with a hearty "ditto" to everything said? And I can't believe how big Noah is now!!!! Seems like just yesterday he was cooing in Sunday school...

Congratulations you guys!

Jeff said...

I love the name -- sounds like the protagonist on a Nintendo game! :) Jessie, you look like a million bucks in your "I gave birth about 5 minutes ago" picture. Not very many can pull that off. Nice work!

Jeff said...

BTW ... Gratuitous gun shots in two consecutive posts? (See close-up of Dave and Gage, then scroll down to Dave and Noah in the pool) Dave, I'm on to you. One more gun shot and I'm going to start calling you Uncle Rico. :)

Congrats! I am glad he finally made it. I can't wait to meet him.

Dave said...

Jeff, you really are on to me. But seriously, I can throw that thing a quarter mile.

Jessie said...

Jeff, I laughed so hard after I read your comment! Don't be jealous, Dave's just been using his weight bench in the basement. I'm serious, he's ripped.

I LOVED the pictures, and the comments are fun to read! My favorite line was "pregnant to parent in 5 minutes." Keep it coming! ;-)
