The day you joined our family

Nephi you are the final member of our family. We were so excited for you to join us! You were definitely on you own schedule though. You are our preemie baby. You came 5 1/2 weeks early on 17 September 2002. You were the smallest of the our babies weighing in at 4 lb 14 oz. Your birth was fairly normal except for the coming early part. You were born at the Navopache Regional Medical Center in Show Low, Arizona.

Here you are just minutes old.
Mommy holding you for the first time.
"Hooray!" says mommy. The final child is here and all is well!
Daddy holding you.
Dad had to work while we were at the hospital for a few days after you were born. You came by c-section so I needed time to heal some before going home. You were really jaundiced and they were watching you. You were sleeping on the bed and I thought you were so darn cute I HAD to take a picture. Your brothers weren't able to come to the hospital to see you. Grandpa and Grandma Rogers came and stayed with them.
