Felt Tales: Welcome to the world Eric Brian Felt

We woke up on Tuesday, March 13th knowing that we'd be meeting your new family member. We got to the hospital at 8:00 AM and, by 10:00 AM, the doctors had attempted to flip the baby out of the breech position to no avail. By 10:45, I was being rolled into the operating room to begin the c-section. To say I was nervous is an understatement. But Brian was calm, cool & collected as always. Here he is in his scrubs getting ready to go into the OR:

But here he is, just out of the womb:

We hadn't officially decided on a name (for boy or girl) before the baby arrived, but we were fairly certain the boy's name would be Eric. I am the one who wanted "Brian" as the middle name, though Brian wasn't so sure of it. Eventually he agreed and we officially decided on "Eric Brian" for his full name:
