Evan Matthew Garner



 











 





 We weren't expecting Evan Matthew for a few more weeks as most of you know!  He came on December 27, at 7:01 p.m. exactly two weeks early.  Dave and I were driving to the mall and my water broke.  We went to the hospital and I had him eight hours later.  He came weighing 7 pounds and 15 ounces.  Sounds like he would have been a nine pounder if he'd been on time! 

The little guy's had a hard time eating enough food, which is pretty ironic considering his parents' appetite :)  So he's had to stay the last two nights in the hospital without me.  That's been tough coming home without my baby, but he's been doing much better so hopefully he's coming home tomorrow morning! 

The funny thing is, Monday morning I said I needed to take a picture because I haven't taken one since I was 22 weeks.  I ended up going into labor a few hours later so it's a good thing I did because I wouldn't have had time to otherwise!  Maybe it was my intuition that I was going to go early :) 

We can't wait for tomorrow when we get to go pick him and bring him home!  It will be the best New Years Eve ever :)

I just can't get over how much he looks like Dave. Until you were sure what his name was we've been calling him Dave's mini'me. :) But Evan is much cuter :) We are so excited for you guys! Can't wait to meet him in person.

Congrats to Dave and Laura! Your new little boy is so precious. In my opinion, his nose looks like Dave's and his mouth like Laura's. So He'll be handsome indeed! Keith and I came to circleville the evening you had Evan and heard the great news. Love, Uncle Keith and Aunt Cheri
