Nathan Scott Bourgeois has arrived!

Our sixth child, Nathan Scott Bourgeois, was born December 19 at 8:17 AM at St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton, CA. He was 6 lbs., 12 oz., which was our smallest child yet. The timing was perfect – he was born the morning after we had just seen the last of our children’s performances. My son Aaron and daughter Corinne had just completed their performances in our church musical and my son Joel had just (the night before!) performed in his band concert.

Nathan is two weeks old today. Sorry for the late posting but I’ve been in “vacation mode” and just now am getting back to blogging.

So, the two-week update: Nathan is gaining weight, eating well, and doing all those things that newborns should do. His siblings all love him, with Aaron and Cori especially doting on him. He is sleeping pretty well at night: Marne usually gets up to nurse him once or twice and I usually get up just once with him for an hour or so to get him back to sleep. I am not teaching my usual Interterm course this January, which means that I do not have to get back to my regular schedule until the end of the month.

We are now a very full family of eight children: dad, mom, five boys and one girl. Our Toyota Sienna is now packed. What are we going to do when we have our next one?
