For my birthday I received a great present. Our 4th child was born. Lucian Paul Farnsworth was born November 1, 2009. He was 8 lbs. 12 oz. 21" 
I know it has been a week and why have I not blogged about it before? Because 4 kids is a ton of work! I need to get used to having one more body in the house. We have yet to go any where and already I am behind. He sure is fun though.
He looks a lot like Caleb did. Except for the hair. Caleb was bald until he was 2 years old. Lucian has quite a bit of dark hair. Caleb has been ignoring Lucian. He acts like he is not even there. Just this morning Caleb said Hi to Lucian and gave him a kiss. So he is starting to come around.
The girls LOVE Lucian. They always want to hold him. Two minutes later they are done holding him and trying to put him down somewhere. I had to make a rule with Chloe that she is not allowed to carry Lucian anywhere. She can hold him if she stays put.
We are so grateful to have the little guy in our home. He had a rough start and had to spend a few hours in the NICU. He inhaled some meconium (sp). The nurses were concerned with his breathing but never had to put him on oxygen. He also had the cord wrapped around him twice. We were scheduled to be induced almost 5 days after he was born. We are so glad he came on his own given the trouble he had.

You do have your hands full, but you will do great!! Caleb will be so happy to have a little brother some day. That is too cute that he decided to say hi and gave him a kiss. Congrats!!!
Allie - he is so cute. Sorry it has taken me so long to send you me congrats. Love all the hair. Can't wait to see him.
He is soooo stinkin' cute!! I think he totally looks like he fits into the Farnsworth mold. I think all your kids look a like. Very cute! It does take more time for boys to come around to new babies I have found out too. Nate wanted nothing to do with Logan for the first little while. He ran to the corner of the hospital room and folded his arms and pouted...you would have thought we put him in timeout or something. He is adorable Alley! Congrats!
