Our little son

Our sweet baby is here! Maxwell Jeffrey Goold was born on July 11th at 11:31 PM with a head full of gorgeous dark hair. He weighed 7 lbs and 15 oz and was 21 inches long. We are absolutely and completely in love with him.

I woke up that morning feeling quite different, and before long, realized that I was in labor. I spent the day with family while Jeff was at work and we got to the hospital around 7:30 PM. Jeff's family started a betting pool to predict the time Max would make his arrival. So funny.

We were so blessed to have everything go so smoothly. I told Jeff again and again that everything went so much better than I could have hoped for. Jeff was by my side encouraging me the entire time and tears came to my eyes when I heard Max's first little gurgled cry for the first time. He is perfect in every way, and like every parent, we think he is the cutest baby ever.
