The littlest Moser!

My sweet little man made his grand entrance into the world this morning, August 29th! We are so thankful to God for the gift of a third, healthy, baby. I came into the hospital at 5:00 am after having had several hours of contractions and five and half hours later he was here. He was posterior (sunny side up, as the nurses said), so the pushing was a bit more intense than with Ben and Nattie, but I survived (obviously!) and he's here safe and sound and perfect!

Andrew Walter Moser
7 lbs 13 oz, 20 inches long
(Andy is a family name and Walter is in honor of Papaw, who we loved a lot!)
Ben and Nattie were VERY excited to meet their little brother! Nattie kept saying "baby" and, of course, wanted to touch his face. I can't believe how HUGE she looks next to him. Ben said, "Look, Mom, he has rosy cheeks!" :)
Nana and Papa came over to our house at 4:30 am to stay with the kids (thank you!) and were the first to meet their new grandson at the hospital this morning. We can't wait for my mom and dad, Grammy and Pops, to arrive from Missouri and meet their fifth grandchild, once we are home from the hospital in a few days!
We love you, sweet, Andy! What a blessing you are already!

Congratulations to all of you!! What a wonderful little family--and of course I love his name! He looks adorable--can't wait to see more photos. Nattie will no longer be a baby-I remember how big the one at home looked with each new baby. Sure your mother is so anxious to get there! Take it as easy as possible-the third makes a big difference. Love you all!

Congratulaions Mosers! What exciting news. I'm so thankful for a healthy and safe delivery for you both. I'm sure Natalie is going to be a great big sister and we know Ben already is! Enjoy these first couple of precious days with your little Andy. So happy for you all! :)

Congratulations! You look amazing...never could tell you just had a baby! Andy is adorable and I can't wait to see more pics of him and his big brother and sister.
I also love that you were just walking on trails and going places even being overdue. You are such a trooper!
Take time to recover and enjoy your little one. He is a doll. Having 3 is awesome, just wait, you'll see! Congrats again to a beautiful family of 5!!

Love the name too!

I can't believe you've already updated your blog. I didn't even think to check it yet!

He is total perfection. Love you all so much and can't wait to meet that darling boy soon. Congratulations! xoxo

Welcome to the world, Andy! We're so glad you're here! Love the pictures- especially the ones with Ben and Natalie- so sweet! And Ali, you're looking Billboard-perfect as usual after just delivering a baby! :) Love you! Great work!

Congratulations! Lily and Andy are exactly one month apart :) You really look great after having just delivered a baby! Being just a few weeks ahead on baby #3 my only advice is to accept any help that is offered to you. Congrats again :)

The Thebeaus said...

Congratulations!! I'm glad everything went well! He is a cutie!! I remember, too, how the older child looks so much older when the baby comes!

Way to deliver Ali! What a cutie pie, you have a beautiful family. I am so happy for you and yours! Jackie

Courtney said...

So glad everything went ok. Impressive that the labor progressed so quickly with Andy being posterior (Graham was, too). Praying it's an easy adjustment to 3 kiddos, and that he'll be your easiest baby yet!!

Katie said...

YEAH! He made it! :) So excited to see your post. He is gorgeous! He looks like he is smirking in some of those pics. And you look amazing!! Can't wait to hear all about the new adventures of Benny, Nattie, and Andy.
