New Arrival!!

Barb and I are excited to announce the arrival of Zachary David Wiens! He was born on Thursday, April 26 at 10.43 am. He weighs 7 ibs. 11 oz. and measures 21 in. long. Barb had a C-section after 24+ hours in labour. Barb and Zac are both healthy and recovering well. Everyone should be home by the weekend.

Here’s an initial picture. I’m sure plenty more will follow soon.

    Congratulations!

    I’m really happy for you. Pass my thoughts on to Barb (when she feels like doing anything after a 24hr labour…)

    I can’t wait to see him!

    Awesome! I’m extremely excited for you and Barb, though I’m a bit upset with Zac for being so uncooperative. Come on, Zac. You’ve got to play team ball! But seriously, the kid’s a looker, a right handsome feller. Way to go!

    Yay Baby! We’ve been thinking/praying for you guys (especially barb, no offense dave) since you went in on Wed. Can’t wait to see the little guy. Barb, you are quite a trooper.

    ‘can’t wait to see him!’

    I am so excited for you guys!! I was wondering how you were doing, ‘cuz I hadn’t heard anything….I guess the adventure has just begun! I can’t wait to meet him (he’s very handsome)…and I also can’t wait for you guys to come home again to visit (I guess you can take some time to recover, barb…)

    I love you & miss you tons…Amz
