Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome to our newest addition to the Schoenfeld family:
Bryce Johnson Schoenfeld
Born at 1:28 am on Wednesday, September 8th
Weighing in at 21 inches long and 8 lbs 7.5 ounces

Bryce was scheduled to come into the world on Friday, but decided he couldn't wait any longer to meet his sisters. He decided to send Mom and Dad to the hospital at 11:30 on Tuesday night. A friend came to stay with the girls until Grandma Denise and Grandpa Jay could make the night drive from Miles City!

Everyone essential was assembled for the C-section and we were underway. Dr. Malany was the surgeon and it was a quiet affair until Bryce was taken out. Then we heard him cry and it was a wonderful moment. He was such a pink baby and looked to be quite healthy. He looked great.

When Rylie and Rori woke up in the morning, they were very surprised to see Grandma and Grandpa here instead of mom. Rylie figured that the baby had come. They all came up that morning to see him and love him. He didn't have a name until after they came. We let Rylie choose between the two names that we had been working on. We thought we had until Friday to decide, but I guess not. I guess if we had just listened to Rori we would have had a name already. For the past couple of months, when Rori had been asked what the baby's name was, she replied, "Treasure Box". After Bryce was born and people would ask her his name, she would say "Treasure".
She refused to call him Bryce until we decided to name her own baby doll Treasure.

We came home on Friday morning. The nurse wheeled me down to the lobby and Mark went to get the van and pull it up to the front doors. He came back and told us that we had a problem. The van had a flat tire. Great! He put the spare on and we headed for home.
