Kikker is a ... boy!!!!

Hi everyone,

Johan Brouwer was born Tuesday March 13, 2007 at 19:40. The strong and healthy boy weighed in at 7 lbs and 4.5 ounces (3.3 kg). Johan has taken to eating really well and seems to be happy to be out in the real world.

The delivery process was long and drawn out, our birth plan went out the window and Johan was born by cesarian section. Andrea will provide a more complete story about our day in the next couple of days.

The most important thing is that Andrea and Johan are healthy and doing well. We will be coming home from the hospital some time on Friday. Our hospital stay has been really good, we have a private room where we all stay. It also has provided us with continuous support with things like breast feeding and getting a good latch.

We thank all of you for your support and well wishes. It is amazing to know that Johan has family and friends all over the world that love him. We can't wait to share 'the kikker' with you in the next little while.

I have posted some pictures of Johan and his proud parents, and promise to provide a more detailed description and more pictures soon.
