Interesting fact: It was five years ago on April 26th that Erin and I shared our first "date" which was SigEp formal as "friends." I'd say we've come a long way.
Erin was a real trooper through the entire labor process. She started pushing at around 2 pm, and we were greeted with a new baby boy after a couple of hours. Definitely not the most fun process in the world as I'm sure most moms would say, but having Harrison was definitely worth the wait.
He has spent his first days eating, sleeping, and making a mess of his diapers. He eats well and doesn't cry too much. He's not particularly fond of having his diaper changed, but I guess I can't blame him. Harrison was able to really get to know both sets of grandparents the last couple of days. Good news: He loves them. A lot. He's looking forward to meeting the rest of the family in the coming weeks.
Erin and I are so blessed to have Harrison in our lives, and we want to thank you for all your prayers throughout our pregnancy. Now we ask for your prayers as we continue down the road of parenthood. I'm sure we'll have our struggles, but having Erin around makes me ready to take on all the challenges that parenthood has to offer.
I've posted a few pictures of our little guy to take a look at. In the next couple of days, I'll be sure to let everyone know how things are going.
Take care everyone.

Congrats to you both, he is very cute. We have been showing Hailey pictures and teaching her to say Harrison but it mostly comes out like Harry, hopefully he wont mind! We are very excited to see you all and hope that everyone is recovering from the birth. Jim and I are excited to share parenthood with you both. Hailey is ready to teach Harrison many new things. Congrats again! Ps... I knew it was a boy :)
