He's Here
Greg here posting for a resting Alicia. We are happy to announce that Burke was born today at 1143 AM. He weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs 11 ozs. He is 19 inches long and is doing well. He had some initial breathing issues, but worked through them and is now doing fine. Alicia is also doing very well. She is a little tired and sore, but overall, doing well. We want to thank everyone that has been praying for Alicia and Burke. God has blessed us with a beautiful son that is doing very well. Here are some pictures for those of you anxious to see him.

Burke is absolutely wonderful and perfect!!!!! What a glorious gift from God to two such fabulous parents! Burke is adorable, beautiful, awesome . . . . I could go on and on!

Wow - there are no other words - Thank you God!
Great news - I've been waiting all day! Thanks for the post, Greg! I'm glad to hear that Burke is doing better with his breathing (both of my C-section with no labor boys had some minor NICU breathing stays before joining me in my room - I think it must have something to do with fluids and mucus not being squeezed out of them!). Alicia looks great!
Love, Carrie

Congrats! Burke is beautiful. I am so happy for y'all. Brett was a c-section baby and had breathing problems too- also in the NICU. He is one big bundle of energy now though. I can't wait until we can see our boys with their sisters!
Are ya'll home yet? I hope that everything at home is going well and I know that your mom is helping you out - take advantage of the help! Once she leaves, if Greg has to go for any reason and it's an evening or weekend, give me a call and I'll come help out!
Love, Carrie
Congratulations!!! He is beautiful, so alert. I am so happy for you guys. You will love being parents, it is the one of the hardest and best things you can ever do.
He is precious! Looks just like an angel!
He's sooo perfect and I'm so happy for you!! I can't wait to me Mr. Burke. I thought today was the big day so I'm sorry I'm posting so late.
