He's here! 
Layne Ray Ballard
March 7, 2008
9 lbs 12 oz, 21 inches
He looks just like his sisters did - large, in charge and cute as can be.
Unfortunately, the little guy has had some problems breathing (a little fluid in his lungs) so he's beein in the NICU since Friday night. We should be able to bring him home within the next couple of days - he's been off of oxygen since midnight last night and is doing really well. After they wean him off of his IV and back onto a bottle, he'll just need to maintain for 24-48 hours and we'll get him all to ourselves.
In the meantime, here are some pictures of our little butterball; monitors, tubes and all. As soon as we can, I'll get some more pictures of him.

He's adorable, Evonne! He looks like he's going to be handful - totally give Tatum and Hayden a run for their money. I'll keep him in our prayers.
