He's Here!

After a long and difficult labor and what seemed like an eternal pregnancy, Zachary Douglas VanderHoeven was finally born at 11:43 PM last night, 9/21/2008 by cesarean section. He was 21.75 inches long and weight 8lbs. 8oz.


Mom is tired and sore but other wise fine and baby is great! Once again, we are blessed.
