Peter is Here!

On June 28, 2007, at 7:11 p.m., we welcomed into the world

PETER CHARLES LERNER

He is named in honor of St. Peter Prince of the Apostles, first Roman pontiff and brother of St. Andrew. The middle name was chosen in honor of Amy's maternal grandfather Charles, who was born on the same day in 1920.

Weighing in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long, Peter promises to be a handful. Amy did everything NATURALLY!!!! I have already told Peter not to mess with his mother as she is pretty tough.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers for a safe delivery. Please keep them coming as the little guy is still trying to get fluid expunged from his lungs and he is currently in the NICU unit. Please check back here throughout the week for updates. We anticipate Peter coming home sometime in the middle of next week, God willing sooner.

Here are a few pictures of our little "Peanut"...
