Another boy to our brood!

Alexander Scott Baidas joined the world today at 5:08 p.m., measuring 21" long and weighing a whopping 9 lbs. 3 oz.! The biggest Baidas boy yet!

I took two crazy boys to meet their new brother, an experience I'm so lucky to have shared with them. On the way there, Lucas said, "So, me, Anthony, Papa and Alexander...four boys. Mama's all alone." I said, well, if I come over...and bring Claire..." to which he replied, "There still won't be as many girls though. Alex makes one more."

And, in true "Kids say the darndest things" fashion, Lucas of course had to ask his Mama, "Why are you still fat?" Just what you want to hear about an hour after giving birth, right? As you can see, though, Sarah looks amazing. You'd never know.

Anyway, it was hilarious to watch the boys, one minute totally ignoring the new baby, the other minute, staring in awe. Lucas was more afraid of him than anything at first, getting as far away from his as possible and plugging his ears when he started to cry.

Lucas was not a fan of the crying... Sarah told him he won't cry ALL the time though.

Three boys! Lord help us.


First smooches.






Look at those big feet!
