Baby Schantz #2 is here!!

Simon Charles Schantz was born on Thursday, 02/04/10 at 4:37 p.m. He weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. The delivery went very well and Marc and I had an incredible, all natural childbirth experience! [I will blog about that later when our life settles down a little bit. :)] Just like his big brother, Simon has a very healthy appetite and in one week has grown half an inch and gained 6 ounces!

arrive).

A little smile?
I think it is so cute when he sleeps
with his hands folded like this!

Samuel rolled over onto him!)
