He is here

Benjamin Berges Schei was born at 12:52 pm. Weighing in at 8 pounds 14 ounces and 'standing' 20.5 inches tall. He has a calm demeanor and is very alert. He started working his eyes open right away and is now looking everyone in the face and mimicking our expressions.

Krista is feeling great. Ben was out in 4 'pushes' and delivery happened without any surprises. We will be in the hospital for 24 hours and then released to go home.

Ben got a 9/9 on his APGAR... I think he is going to ace his hearing test, too. He follows me with his eyes when I am talking. We covet your prayers and can't wait to introduce Benjamin to his family and friends.
