Although Shannan was hoping for a normal birth process, she ended up having to do a c-section. For one thing he was 9 pounds 8 ounces and for another... he was breach. So we were able to be in the hospital the whole time the process was taking place. We were all so excited for his arrival! Of course with the ultrasound technology we have today, we were able to tell whose nose he had several months ago, but the rest was a mystery until yesterday :) And the conclusion is (drumroll please)............He looks just like his daddy! (except the nose) the hairline which has been in Mike's family for three generations has now graduated to the fourth. And he is just a bundle of sweetness and love! 
He is the biggest newborn I have ever seen! As we were watching the nurse take care of him yesterday in the nursery we noticed his massive cheek drooping down onto the bed. What a cutie! I promise we have more pictures, but when I tried to take them on my phone so I could upload them today, Mike insisted we use his camera which of course is much better quality, but that also means no pictures until later :( But I will post as soon as we get them :) 
Shannan is doing well. She is really enjoying the morphine and had a blessing yesterday for a swift and smooth recovery. She is going to try and walk today to help the process along. She is a beautiful, strong, positive person! I am so proud of her and feel blessed to call her my sister! And I guess Mike is okaaay. :) They will be amazing parents who will teach Timothy how to be a righteous priesthood holder in Zion, who knows his Heavenly Father loves him and has a testimony of Jesus Christ! We love our little Timothy James Verbick!
