Many thanks to everyone who has expressed their congratulations and well wishes. Boaz and I are recovering well, enjoying this special time of him being a tiny newborn. The family is adjusting with relative ease. Stephen of course looks like a giant toddler by comparison now. He is rather thrilled about no longer being the "baby", and absolutely delights in being all over Boaz, pulling back his blanket, patting his head, and the like.
As much as I don't like to talk about it, the fact remains that this was a twin pregnancy. I know many of you are wondering, or have asked, about the other baby.

Jachin Thomas Anderson was born first, at 7:33 am on Tuesday, May 6, weighing in just a tad above 2 ounces, and measuring 6 inches in length. I birthed him into my hands in the tub. Before going into labor, based on the last ultrasound, we did not know what to expect because he was not visible during that exam. During labor, however, when my midwife checked me, she could feel him, and that he was presenting first.
