And then there were four

On September 4, 2008 at 12:14 a.m., Felicity & Nathaniel (and sleeping William) welcomed the latest addition to the Hancock family. Born almost 4 weeks early, our second son (name TBD) weighed 5 lb. 7 oz. and was 19 1/4" long. Felicity is doing remarkably well after the emergency cesarean section and plans to return home this Sunday with William's little brother. Nathaniel and William just can't wait to welcome the wee one home and to have their beautiful wife and mother back! As much as they enjoy microwavable meals and sharing "guys' night out" activities, there is nothing quite like being home together as a family.
To all you readers out there: we are so grateful for your love and support. It is wonderful to have friends and family with whom we can share our joyful news... and upon whom we can rely for babysitting at such times. :) You're the best.
Goodnight to my dear ones at the hospital, and goodnight to friends and family around the globe.

Whoa!!! My gracious! He's here and he's beautiful!!! I am so happy to see that everyone is doing fine.

Tell Felicity that we are hoping she has a fast recovery from her c-section.

Love to you all!

He is handsome, and so little (compared to mine at least). I wish I was there to bring you dinner and take W to the park. I am sure you are being well taken care of. We love you guys!

OH Congratulations!!! I kept telling Felicity to be prepared, so I hope she listened. =)
I really wish I could run a big pile of preemie clothes over, but they would all be pink!

Let me know if you need anything!

Oh how sad I am to be so far away! Congratulations, sweet dear. I would love to snuggle up to a 5 lb little one...maybe I wouldn't feel like I missed out on those first few weeks since my 9 pounder. Love you all!
