He's here!

So after a bit of waiting (but still a few days early), we were very excited to meet the newest edition to our family. William Aaron Betke made his appearance at 10:34pm, weighing a very healthy 8lbs, 7 3/4oz, and measuring 19 1/2". He has, so far, been a very content baby making our adjustment to 2 children relatively smooth to date.

Maria is trying very hard to be a big help, wanting to participate in many diaper changes and offering to hold Will throughout the day. We'll have to keep an eye on her just to make sure she doesn't try to "help" too much without our assistance. So far, she has been a bit clingy and whiney (she hasn't really napped since the baby's arrival), but isn't showing any really unpleasant displays of jealousy and we hope things continue this way.
