New Addition

At 3:18 on Saturday, May 21, we added another person to our family. Edison Michael Repka-Kolanowski was born at Group Health Family Beginnings Unit in Seattle Washington, (but just barely). He weighed 9 lbs 4 ounces, and was 21 inches tall. He has a lot of hair (at least compared to Edy when she came out), and really long fingers and toes. Edison appears to be eating well, and Mom seems to be doing better than after Edy's birth, for which Dad is very grateful. They both came home from the hospital the next day.

Edy is doing a fantastic job transitioning to being a big sister, saying "I'm going to wash my hands so I can touch the baby." She likes to kiss him and talks about doing things with baby Edison all the time. Grandma Tonjia has been a great help, she's been here for about a week, Edy loves her, and she is staying another week to help out with newborn. Grandma Marianne arrives a day later for a week, so we are excited and welcoming of all the help.

Stay tuned for more photos and updates...
