family of FOUR!

announcing the arrival of

BURKE CHASE CAMBERLANGO

burke arrived on monday november 16 and 11:30 p.m. he weighted 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long! good thing he came early or else he would of been HUGE! we are so excited that he is here! its been so much fun to be able to bring him home and get him acquainted with big brother tegan... tegan loves him.. he loves being a little helper... throwing the diapers away, getting diapers, finding his bink... he just loves it all.. he also loves trying to touch and poke him... its a little nerve racking for us parents but we are loving every second! its amazing having a family of four.. the other night at dinner I was totally blown away... we seem so big! my two kids are awesome...
we couldn't be more grateful for burke and the chance that we have to be his parents... when he was born we realized that he had a knot in his umbilical cord, a true knot, and all the doctors and nurses were amazed that he was alive... they said that when you see a true knot like that the percentage of those that make it is slim to none, since it would only take a split second to tighten and cut off all their air and blood supply without anyone knowing.. needless to say we couldn't be more grateful for him and we know that he is suppose to be here with us for a reason... we are forever grateful that he made it!
here are some pictures of our adorable little boy!...
moments after being born he was already sucking on his thumb!

HOORAY!!!! That is so exciting. He is adorable. Make sure you teach Teagan not to pick him up. Ali brought Charlie to me while I was blow drying my hair one time when he was 2 weeks old. It scared me to death. Good Luck and enjoy every moment of it.

P.S. He was born on my Dad's birthday (not that that means a whole lot you him)
