Leif Peder Larsen

We're pleased to announce the arrival of Leif Peder Larsen!  He was born yesterday morning around 7am, weighing in at 7 lbs. Because his breath rate was a bit  faster than normal after delivery, he has spent the last 24 hours getting a little extra help in the nursery. We've been assured he's doing great and will be joining us in our room today. It's been hard to not be together right away, but it's nice to know he will be in our arms within a few hours. Tom has been able to spend time with him in the nursery, but I am tethered to my bed at the moment by tubes. Needless to say,  I am VERY ready for his transition to our room!

Regarding his name, we will use the Danish pronunciation of Leif, which sounds like "life."

Kaj is excited to hold Baby Leif this afternoon!
