About 15 minutes after he was born.

A few pics
We are enjoying our sweet baby boy so much!! He is a really good baby, and is carrying on the tradition of his sister by sleeping all. the. time! This would be totally fine with me if he would just wake up to eat, but he's not always all too interested in eating either. He was 7 lbs. 8 oz. when we left the hospital, which I know is completely normal and expected to lose weight right away, but one week later he is 7, 7. So I have to keep taking him in for weight checks. I'm not too concerned about it, though, because he is a good nurser when he decides he's hungry, he's very content, and we're changing plenty of diapers. He was completely uninterested in eating the first 4 days, so I had to pump just to bring my milk in. He seems so tiny to us that it's hard to believe his sister was almost 3 pounds less than him! At his one week check up, his length was in the 90th percent, weight in the 50th percent, and head size in the 10th percent! It's totally different bringing home a full term baby this time, it's definitely not as worrisome, and being able to come home from the hospital at the same time was amazing. We've had steady company since we came home from the hospital, and my mom was here for 6 days, and now my mother-in-law is staying with us, that's been really nice, and extremely helpful!
