The Wortley Pad: July 2012

10 July 2012

And his name is...

Alexander Don Wortley

We had to choose a name before we left the hospital. It was down to two names and time was running short. So Don and I did what anyone does when faced with a life-changing decision and flipped a coin for best out of three. The other name won 2 out of 3. As we were getting ready to fill out the paper work, we both changed our minds. And that's how Alexander Don came to be!

Alex is named after both of his Grandpas and his Dad. "Alexander" is Grandpa Wortley's middle name and "Don" is Grandpa Jessop's middle name, as well as his Dad's middle name.

Here is a link to a digital birth announcement video from the hospital. Note - Alex was not a happy camper for these pictures, so the video keeps repeating the pictures in different colors. Ha ha! He is still a cutie though!

Brothers meet for the first and second time

After the baby was born, Don rushed home to pick up Liam and my mom to meet the new little guy. But Liam was more interested in my pizza and cool bed with buttons. He may have paged the nurse a few times ... whoops!

Let's try that again. Two days later, Don brought Liam and my mom to the hospital to bring me and the baby home. This time Liam was slightly more interested in his brother. He did manage to hold still enough for a few pictures and a sweet kiss.
