Introducing Derek Kingston Gene Mast

He's finally here. Derek made it into the world on March 12, 2009 at about 10:30 am. His delivery was relatively easy. I was induced at 5:30 am and 5 hours later he was here. He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and is 21" long. He's a great baby. Generally eats every 4 hours and sleeps in between those feedings. He's pretty happy unless he has to wait on his bottle, then he turns into a grumpy old man. The girls are absolutely in love with him. They love to hold him and feed him and give him kisses any chance they get. Willem is very happy to have some testosterone in the house. Derek has already been introduced to the tractor and the dogs.

As promised I took some pics of his room. We went with an extreme sports theme. We'd love him to be into skateboards and bikes like his daddy. Only time will tell. In the meantime he seems to like looking at the lines on his walls.
