    Thank you so much to everyone that has commented and/or shown their support in some way. We are very happy and excited. Now back from the hospital and getting to know each other at home. When I get used to the new sleep schedule I’ll be sure to post some more images. Oh, and his name is James Harris Kurtz IV. We’re working out some nicknames too. Much love to all of you.
