Welcome to the world, Joseph Bradley Schutte. This picture was taken when he was about a minute old, Mark and I were already in love with him so much! The labor was another interesting story, that if you want to hear, you can ask me! But I will share that he was born before Dr. Birbeck could get there!
Mark and I had a boy's name picked out pretty much as soon as we started talking about names during out first pregnancy. Since we had Megan, we still had our boy's name waiting to be used. Joseph is named after the most amazing man I have ever known, my grandpa Joe Berthold. I know that he would be honored to know that his first great-grandson was named after him. The one time I cried after Joey was born, was after saying his name for the first time. I miss my grandpa so much and having Joey makes me feel like my grandpa (his great-grandpa) is always with us.
Wow! I was expecting a baby closer to Megan's size, 6lbs 9oz. But Joey was 8lb 2oz, 1 1/2 lbs bigger! That is a big difference but he still seemed so tiny! 
Love this picture!
