Welcome Austin Zachary!

Austin Zachary Collins arrived on Thursday, April 10th at 12:10 PM. He weighed 6 pounds, 14 oz. and was 18.5 in long. Mother and baby are doing well. Courtney and I (by the way, Zach is making his first blog post!) went to the hospital this morning at about 7:40 after we suspected that Courtney's water broke. Sure enough, the nurses confirmed our suspicions. Courtney began having contractions around 9 AM and Austin was born about 3 hours later! Enjoy the first round of pictures. More will follow soon.

Congratulations kids! Nice work on the fast labor Courtney! And to put in my 2 cents worth on the trip to Cinn--go for it, just allow extra travel time like everyone said. Love the sweet pics.

Congratulations! How great to hear that Austin got right down to business when it was time! :D

I just thought your last entry was so cute and funny, because I read it right after I had heard news of Austin's birth via the family grapevine...but I didn't want to give away anything!

He's precious!!! Congrats, Courtney and Zach! Enjoy holding that little guy all the time. What a sweetie.
