Josiah Marcel Kolmus was born on Monday, April 30th, at 5:07am. He weighed 7lbs, 7ozs, which happens to be exactly the same weight of the other 2 boys when they were born. He was 20.5 inches long.
In keep with our naming conventions, we have one Biblical name, Josiah, one family name, Amber's maternal grandfather's name is Marcel, and a first name that's not too common and not nicknameable (it's fun to make up words). Josiah means "fire of the Lord," and Marcel means "young warrior," so this guy could be a handful!!
Everything went very well with the labor process. It was Amber's quickest, having arrived at the hospital at about 11:30 Sunday night. Even our night-shift nurses were very good this time around!
The kids were very excited to meet their new baby brother. Each one took turns holding him and singing to him. It was fun to watch.
We are very thankful that Amber's mom is here for a couple of weeks to help us with adjusting to 4 kids. Her help has been invaluable. Thanks for coming, Mom!
Amber remarked the other day that the van is beginning to feel like a clown car...more and more people just keep coming out of it! Here are a handful of pictures of Josiah from the last week:
