It's a BOY!!!!!!!

Hey All! Just wanted to quickly let you know the super news: Joshua Robert Seth Balfour was born this morning (January 2) at 12:55 am after a looooooong slow labor of 21 hours. He was 7 lbs 1 oz, 20.5 inches long, and has a head full of hair like his sister! We are in IN LOVE and we are TIRED! Here's a couple pictures my sister just emailed me to tide you over until we can post more. Oh, and yes, we are already home from the hospital. My doctor's pretty laid back. :)
