Baby Noble is here...

and it's a BOY!!! We welcomed a precious, adorable, perfect baby boy on Thursday, June 11th at 7:10 p.m. He weighed a whopping 8 lbs., and 14 oz. and was 22 in. long! As many have been quoted as saying "he is a strapping little boy!" The delivery was not scheduled, and had to be rushed, but fortunately many members of our family and friends were able to be present for the big moment. We have been spoiled by visitors and supporters every day since too! 

Things haven't been completely perfect, but they have most definitely been guided by the Big Guy's hands! After I (Cayce) went to recovery after delivery, "Bear" and Daddy went to see the family and then off to the nursery. By the time I was out of recovery, baby Bear was under the incubator with some struggles with breathing. Many hours later, after I still hadn't been able to hold the sweet boy, he was whisked away to the NICU. He remains there at this hour, but has made incredible progress! He had bubbles of air in his lungs which caused his lungs to collapse. As of now, he is breathing room air and, God willing, will return to the regular nursery (and therefore our room) tomorrow morning! I can't wait to love on him instead of staring at his sweet face through walls of plastic!

Thanks to all for your prayers and support! Things have really gone well, considering! Once we have this sweet baby in our hands, I will post more pics! In the mean time, a few from his very first introduction to our world!
