Peyton (BABY DL) HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

Sorry that this took a while to post but the last 36 hours have been a little crazy! As I am at home now, I can hardly wait to get back to the hospital to see our new little guy!

PEYTON LUKE DIAZ-LATHAM
Born Sept. 27, 2010 at 8:29 am

Mommy, Daddy, and Peyton just after birth and still in the operating room.

Baby Peyton Luke Diaz-Latham about 10 - 15 min after birth. Awake, alert and ready to take on the world.

Baby Peyton only 15 min after birth

Mommy and Peyton reunited after mommy was sewn up and Peyton was checked out in the nursery. It just doesn't get any better than this! (I am actually getting emotional right now while I am typing this out. Words cannot express how much I love these two people!!!!!)

A proud Daddy wondering how he is so lucky.

The FIRST of Daddy's famous "arm" pictures that have up to now only included Mommy and Daddy but will now and forever include our recent addition to the family.

Peyton after his 1st feeding. SUCH A HARD LIFE!

Abuelo could not be happier!

In the afternoon, Uncle Austen and Aunt Laurie came to the hospital and took pictures. Uncle Austen might not call himself a professional photographer, but I would put his pictures up against anyone who has ever charged money to take photos. WE ARE SO LUCKY THAT HE HAS THIS NEW HOBBY AND WE WILL BENEFIT FOR YEARS!

If anyone is interested in seeing all of the photos, they can be viewed at

Also, if you are interested in hiring Austen for any occasion please let us know and we will put you in touch with him. I did not write anything about the individual photos because they speak for themselves!

ALL SET AND READY TO GO!

Mommy has begun to get uncomfortable with her baby bump. Both Mommy and Daddy are so excited that they can hardly wait to meet baby Peyton.

Our bags are all packed and ready to go. We check into the hospital at 5:30 am and the c-section is setup to start at 7:30.

Baby Peyton's car seat is installed and ready to protect the little guy.

Baby Peyton's bed is setup next to his parents bed for easy access and quick feeding.

Peyton's heartbeat at home (37 weeks) 9-10-10

This Picture was taken on September 7th and should prove to most that Kat is pregnant.

Whenever Peyton is bad, we plan on telling him that this is the C-section scar that his mommy has to live with because of him.
(It was actually pantyhose from my MBA graduation, sssshhhh....)

Months ago we purchased a device that claimed to be able to help you hear your baby's heartbeat. I was skeptical on it ever working but we are finally able to enjoy it. Our baby boy is finally big enough to be heard.

Today Kat is 37 weeks pregnant so I have included some information about what the baby looks like and how he measures.

The baby is scheduled to be born by c-section on September 27, 2010 (estimated to be 39 weeks and 3 days)

WEIGHT GAME:

Kathleen's guess 7lbs, 8 0z
Aaron's guess 7 lbs, 9 oz

Please post your guess for Peyton's weight at birth. The winner will receive the benefit of knowing that they were closest to guessing his weight. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
