Keegan James Mulloy is here!

10 lbs 7 oz and 23 3/4 inches long!  Keegan James Mulloy arrived on the 28th at 8pm.  Once again it was an exciting labor and I made it through without the need for drugs.  Labor started on its own in the morning and we were able to watch the Vikings game, and even most of the Charger's win prior to Keegan's arrival.  

He came into the world with a bang and was pretty beat up.  His face is purple and his eyes are REALLY swollen. The nurses says this happens about once a year from a QUICK trip into the world.  We are truly blessed!  
Papa and Nana watched Maggie.  It was Papa's birthday on the 29th so we had a pizza and beer party in my hospital room
Maggie doesn't want to let anyone else hold Keegan.  Here you can tell the contrast in their coloring!
I took this picture when Keegan was a few hours old just to show how beat up his face looked!
We had no idea he would be this big. It took them a little while to weigh him (since he popped into the world before the Dr was even ready!)
Maggie LOVES her little brother!

Big kid. This was the moment after he was born. The nurse kept saying "I've never seen a baby this big before!"  So much for Newborn Diapers and 0-3 baby clothes, he's in the 6 month gear!
Our whole new family checking out Keegan and, of course, watching football at the hospital

I can't believe how big he is! Mike Klapmeyer was 12 pounds when we was born and he's regular size now so he may not have to be a lineman...

I'm so happy for all of you, congrats again.

Don't forget to get some rest when you can.
