Julius Peter Michael Gallus Jr. arrived yesterday, December 9!!!!!! We call him "Michael." Here is little Michael Gallus at about 5 hours old~
He weighed 7# 10 oz. and is doing GREAT. He took pity on his mama and came 2.5 weeks early! Madeleine "caught" him with the midwife-Charlotte coaching----perhaps we have a midwife-in-the-making!
Erika, Dorothy Jo, Caroline and Jacqueline all came back around 2:30 pm and WHISKED him away! Here are some pictures from their meeting:
Pete, Jacqueline (2) and Michael
Erika (8), Dorothy Jo (7) and Michael
And, of course....the whole clan!
Congratulations, Suzanne and family! I am so thrilled to see another baby Gallus enter the world!
