We are so happy to announce the arrival of Charlie Matthew Sungy, born March 8th, at 8:48am. Everything with my c-cestion went extremely smoothly, and none of the placenta issues they were concerned about ended up being any sort of problem! Charlie weighed in at 8lbs, 15 oz, which is pretty big considering he was a week early. He looks a lot like Alec did as a newborn, although his skin color is more fair, but he reminds both Matt and I of Alec. He has been super sweet so far, he nurses like a champ and is super snuggly, which we are loving b/c his older brother never liked to snuggle. We will probably be in the hospital until tom afternoon or Fri morning b/c I need to recover a bit more, so we are just enjoying our little man and the quiet time. It is amazing how much easier the whole newborn process feels the second time around, we are so much calmer and more relaxed and Charlie definitely seems to pick up on that. Alec is also doing well, running around with Papa Randy and Retta, and he did a great job when he came to visit yesterday - he was genuinely interested in meeting Charlie and already wanted to help - he found a comb and ended up bushing the baby's hair. He was a little sad to leave us and didn't understand why we weren't just bringing the baby home, but Papa and Retta assured us he was happy again after leaving. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes yesterday, we are so happy and can't wait to introduce you all to our little man.

p.s. We are both still in shock that we have a baby with an Illinois birth certificate
p.p.s. Damn to the other infamous Charlie who has been all over the media for the last 2 weeks damaging our baby name.
