Well, our induction experience was very long and similar to our experience when Aly was born (although it was supposed to be rare). We arrived Thursday and anxiously awaited hour by hour....day by day....for the baby to make it's grand entrance.
Finally, Saturday morning at 6:07am, Braden Patrick Maple made his entrance!
He weighed 7 lbs. 4 1/2 oz. , 19 1/2 in. long and a head full of hair!
Here is the proud mom, dad and sister!
So far, he seems to resemble Aly when she was born.
Here are some of his 1st photos...what a handsome guy! (Check out those chops!) His big sister is really proud and finally has come around to love and accept the newest family member.
Can we just say - Proud Daddy!
After another long delivery, I have decided that I'm done having kids! I'm sure many of you heard it in Matt's voice as he made the phone calls, but he's definitely elated that he has a son. Now that we have one of each, we're calling it done - Our Happy Family!
Well, we haven't been home long and we've already realized that we can't turn our heads for long. Aly wants to be a big part of taking care of her new baby brother!
Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
Check back for more updates....

What a sweetie! Keep those pictures coming! I learned that I couldn't turn my head for long, either. Andrew kept piling pillows on Nathan, hoping he'd be "out of sight, out of mind" to Mommy and Daddy! Congratulations to all of you!

He is absolutely ADORABLE!! Can't wait to meet him! Maybe we can stop by this weekend and bring you some food too! Yeah, the whole not being able to turn your head doesn't go away anytime soon...even though it is challenging it is fun to watch too!
Congratulations and glad you made it through another long delivery. We can't wait to meet little Braden...hopefully soon!
Yeah!!! Congrats. I can't wait to meet Braden and visit all of you. Of course, if you get too tired, I will take the kids off your hands =). Take care. God Bless.
He's beautiful! I'm glad you are home and hopefully getting some rest! If you need anything give us a call!
Good seeing you the other night and glad you enjoyed dinner. Amazing the resemblance between the two. Get some sleep.
What a beautiful addition to your family! You sure have a lot to be thankful for this holiday. We hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. Hope to see you soon!
