welcome to the world!!!

harrison frederick brumbaugh has made an early arrival into the world (19 days early to be exact). harry was born at 9:15 p.m. today weighing a healthy (and not so scary) 7 lbs. 10 oz. and measuring 19 in. long. for those that aren't aware, corinne went to the dr. this morning for her weekly checkup and during the exam her water broke (after just being told that he was measuring to be about a 9 pound+ baby in the 97th percentile! - this is why i said his 7 lbs. wasn't so scary!)...that was at 9:15 a.m. - exactly 12 hours later - he made his grand entrance! i couldn't be a more proud aunt right now (albeit a tired one!)! i always knew my sister was an amazing woman, but she proved it today/tonight! she did her breathing and stayed calm even when most people would have lost it! she is doing remarkably well already in her new foray into motherhood and even accomplished the first nursing like a pro! harrison is "cute as a button", but don't take my word for it...see for yourself! i love you corinne and am so proud of you! congratulations corinne and david...and welcome to the world my little nephew harry! love, hugs & kisses, auntie kiki!

That was so sweet of you to keep me updated as the labor progressed!

I also cried after reading your blog on Corinne and Harrison-you are the sweetest sister and now the best auntie in the entire world! :)

Congrats and enjoy little Harry!

Boy everybody looks great, and congradulations to your sister and husband, but that fellow john guy is looking more and more like his father. I mean the gray hair and lack of it. Hey but dont worry John Im not to fare behind,

Little Harrison is very fortunate to have an Uncle John that will share his years of wisdom and deep insight with him! I can only imagine the trouble John, Anthony, and Harrison are going to find together! (Fortunately Auntie KiKi will keep an eye on them)

Congratulations to your family John and Christy.
