Yesterday sure was an exciting day.  Edward John Paff III (Trey) was born at 1:40 PM MST on Sunday January 9, 2011, just five days before his due date.  He came into this world weighing in at seven pounds fifteen ounces and twenty and a half inches tall.  He has blue eyes (for now) and a nice head of dark hair (complete with some mini sideburns).  Both mom and baby are doing fantastic!

I’m writing this from SkyRidge hospital from a luxurious private room with our own shower and even a futon for me to sleep.  Trey spent the night with us last night and all three of us managed to get a pretty good night of rest.  Kim is up and taking her first walk outside of the room since we moved here after delivery.  It’s a bitterly cold day outside in Colorado with over a half-foot of snow on the ground.

We should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning and I suppose that’s when the real fun begins.  I will be taking off work for the rest of the week to help out.  So far Trey has been very easy-going (except when the nurses and doctors mess with him too much).  He’s also a great eater and spends most of the time sleeping (even when he should be feeding).
