Welcome Alekzander John Swistak!!!

Now introducing... standing (laying really) 21 inches* and weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds 15 ounces...

ALEKZANDER JOHN SWISTAK!!!

Arriving just before midnight on Wednesday, he wasn't officially a Thanksgiving Day baby but he sure gives us reason for thanks!


Will post more info/pics/updates tomorrow but Dad needs some sleep!!! We've been here and on go since 7am!!!

*edit/update:  they had him @ 20" after birth but at his first pediatrician appointment at less than a week old they actually measured him out and he was 21".  I asked the doctor if it was possible for him to grow an inch in such short time and he just laughed.  He said they must not have measured him correctly at the hospital.
