Introducing...





CHASE CLARK GOLDIE! Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes. Sorry to keep you in suspense on his name. My first choice was Thatcher, Brad's was Chase, but my second choice was Chase whereas Thatcher was number 10 on Brad's list, so there you have it...if that makes any sense! We don't have very many great pictures yet, but luckily my incredibly talented sister-in-law Katie is here, so I'll post some more when she takes them.

Everything has gone so well, especially compared to my experience with Nick. I started having contractions about 11:00pm on Monday night. We went to the hospital about 2:00am, and Chase was born at 7:54am. I only had to push for 10 minutes, and there were no placenta complications like there were with Nick. My only complaint is that I wasn't able to get the epidural until I was dialated to a 9, so I was having some painful contractions there the last couple hours, and I can't tell you just how much I LOVE THE EPIDURAL!! I wanted to kiss the anesthesiologist by the time he got there! :)

Chase, although only 55 hours old, is such a good baby! He has a very sweet and gentle spirit about him and is very calm. Nick is adjusting well. He's very possesive of his brother and keeps looking at him and saying "he's cute!" over and over again. I feel so blessed to have these two special spirits entrusted to me! More to come --

Bek, he is darling. it's so fun to have a new teeny tiny baby to hold and cuddle. Thanks for posting photos, i've been checking your blog every few hours the last few days. i've been so excited.
Also, after giving birth and having what you call and bad haircut, i think you look beautiful. From what i can tell about your hair, it's a great length for you. it makes your neck look so long and gorgeous and your face look thin. i don't know what you've been so worried about. you can't look ugly anyways. hey, if you look good with a 7 inch cosmetology test haircut, you look good in anything.
love you bekah.

Yay! I'm so excited he's here safe. And he's so cute. It made me want a newborn again, hold him every minute you can,they get bigger even faster when it's the second. I'm with sadie, you look great, I can't believe you just gave birth and you think thats a bad haircut. It's probably just not what you had in mind. Love ya!

Goldie Family-

I am so happy for you. Chase is super cute and fun. I am so glad that you posted pictures so quickly. I was randomly looking at the girls' blog tonight and found out that you had your baby. So exciting! My prayers are with you and I am with Sadie that your haircut is a good length for you. I like it a lot. Much love,
AMY

Congrats Bekah and family! Chase is so cute!!! (and so tall, I have never heard of a baby being 23 inches!) Oh, and I love the pic of Nick holding Chase - so precious! Glad that everything went well. Tell your mom that the "foreign girl" says hi!

Bekah and Brad,
Congratulations. I'm thrilled for you. Bekah, I love your hair (I was picturing 1 inch spikes when you said it needed to grow out before you would post any pics). You look great. Chase is so sweet.

I'm so glad everything went well and it's finally over (the pregnancy part), hurray! He looks beautiful, and you two look pretty good too.

By the way, I figured out why the link to our blog doesn't work, the "http" part of the link got duplicated somehow.

Hope you are getting sleep and recovering well!
