He’s healthy and happy. Seven pounds, twelve ounces. Born at 4:05 am on August 8, 2007.
Michele is doing very well (now that it’s over!) after a very long two days.
We’ll be posting tons of photos, of course. For now, only one. I’m beat.
Off to the hospital to see my baby and my son.
She’s at New York Presbyterian Hospital (under Michele Boudreaux) if anyone cares to send a card or anything. She will be there until Friday morning (standard protocol). Alternately, you can make a donation in Emory’s name to BARC – our local animal shelter.
Tuesdays with Murray will be retroactively published when she gets home :)
Smooches, all of ya.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Already gushed on the Flickr photo, but OMG, this warrants double commenting. :-)
I am so very happy for you both. He is beautiful, perfect, wonderful! Can’t wait to hear Michele’s story of the delivery. Glad they are both doing well!
xoxoxo!

On the name: Emory is derived from Emmerich, which is an old Germanic name meaning something along the lines of “home strength” and is also the root of America. Francis is a secular nod to St. Francis of Asisi, Patron Saint of Murrays (er, ANIMALS) and the Environment.
Boudreaux is a word meaning, roughly “raised in a trailor” and is a staple in many prisons and mental institutions in the southern United States.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:48 PM

One more thing, I just want to confirm that he was born in this year 2007 instead of next year in 2008 as you listed! :o) No worries, Toby! We understand what it is like as a new parent. Mike listed the wrong date on our announcement when Isabel was born too! :o)

He is gorgeous!
Congratulations!

Thank you again. Will update soon. In the meantime, we put up a few more photos over on Flickr. Check ‘em out if you’re interested.

August 13th, 2007 at 01:26 AM
The flickr photos are wonderful to see. I like Toby’s note about the first photo…
Gotta shower and get back to see my baby and son.
At first I thought it was a typo, then I figured it out… and thought it was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard. :)
August 13th, 2007 at 08:24 AM
i hope you had a great first weekend at home with your two boys. :)
