Beau was born Sunday, July 6th at 2:13am, weighing in at a grand 8 lbs, 14.5 oz, and 21 3/4" long! He was instantly wide awake, apparently completely in awe of finally being able to match faces to voices. He has lots of brownish-blonde hair, big kissable cheeks, eyes of a undetermined color, big hands, a very large head, and two adorable yet slightly misdirected feet. He is one of the three most beautiful things I have ever seen.
It is possible to hold three children at once...The girl on the right is my niece, Sarah. I'm not sure why Bekah is making that face. Jacob's serious face is because he is especially possessive of Beau and didn't really like Sarah touching him.
Here's Beau looking so small in his carseat. The drive home from the hospital in Rus's jeep put him right to sleep. Notice his left foot, which is much more turned than his right foot. And his cute long toes. :)
The nurses who gave Beau his bath also gave him a nice mohawk. I thought it was adorable, but he didn't like me showing him off.
Rus is recovering well from labor with just a few backpains (attributed to his oh-so-comfy fold-out bed in our room). He is completely in love with his boy, despite the fact that Beau has already made him change at least six poopy diapers. (Way to go, Beau!)
I'm "doing good" (code for "I've been split in two, but I'm optimistic that I won't feel this way forever"). I'm loving kissing Beau's cheeks and talking to him and especially getting those newborn baby cuddles that are unlike anything else. I am completely in love.
Here are some more pics for you to enjoy...

Hooray! He is here and ooooh so adorable! We have been wondering about you guys- checking your blog at least ONCE every day. We are so glad he is here and you are "doing good". Congratulations. I hope the days to come are not to miserable with all that you have to go through....
Love you guys!!!
Congratulations Keri and Russ!! Wow, number 3! I'm so excited for you guys, he is so precious! It just seemed like yesterday that we were in Flagstaff going to school. Has it really been 4 years since we graduated?
YEAH YEAH YEAH!! He is here and the most beautiful baby ever!! Oh my goodness, Keri...his hair is amazing. What did you eat the whole time you were preggo to get his locks looking so luscious? Oh, I am so excited that he is here! Long toes and everything.
I can tell Bekah and Jacob are already in love with him. At first, when I saw the pics and how big he is...I thought...she delivered a 3-month old! But the delivery pics made me think...phew, he is an infant after all!
You look amazing! I am so proud of you...and Rus!
congrats! Glad everything went great.
Congrats! I love all his hair and that mohawk! You look great for just having a baby! Good luck with the new little one!
Woo Hoo! Congratulations! What an adorable little guy! I have thought about you every day wondering if he had come yet. YAY! Oh, and you have to have been THE cutest pregnant lady EVER. So jealous!
Glad to hear the happy news! Congratulations! Its good to see you (and baby!) are "doing good" and you have your mom there to help. Tell her "hi" for me.
ps...no Omega huh? :0)
I'm glad everything went well. He looks precious!
Congratulations!!! He is beautiful. I love the hair!!!! I hope that all goes well with your upcoming appointments. I am assuming you will start those soon. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you. May his feet turn in 5 casts not six, may he sleep through the night and about this time next year may he run with his siblings.
Good luck from someone who has been there.

Wahoo!! Hey Keri, it's Sarah, Sarah (Little) Kehl. Congratulations on welcoming Beau to the world! I've been thinking about you a lot lately, wondering if he'd arrived yet, and here he is! He is beautiful! Hope all is going well at home. And my mom and Bethany say hi and congratulations too!
congratulations! I love new babies and the special spirit they bring. He is a cute one. I especially love the picture of him with the mohawk.
Congratulations Keri! He is adorable.°Ü°
Congrats!! He is a cutie! I'm lovin' that mohawk! And I'm glad you're "doing good" and hope you recover quickly!
Beautiful Baby! I don't think he looks like a newborn though. Congratulaions. Your mom looks just the same as always. By the way, this is Dave and Laura's mom.
Love the new pic at the top of the blog!!
CONGRATULATIONS! You have the most beautiful family! I can't believe how amazing you look after just having delivered Beau. WOW! Is it quite the adjustment having 3 instead of 2? Either way it looks and sounds like you are a pro! And I know everyone has commented on his hair but holy cow...its to die for! He is so precious, how nice to have a little slice of heaven...or 3.
congratulations keri! what a good looking family you have. little beau and all that hair! by the way, your mom does look great!
