He is finally here - WAHOOO!
Daniel James Larsen decided to make his Earthly debut on Thursday, June 4th at 11:30.
Little dude was scheduled to arrive at 9:30 but thanks to a few other unpatient babies who were delived on a gurney in the halls of the hospital we had to take our turn.
Here is our story (with quite a few pictures...get comfy)!
This is Momma - about ready to pop - I really can't believe my buddah belly not to mention the poor, poor shirt being stretched to the limit!
You know I am not proud of my size and to make matters worse my when my parents flew into town to take care of Sarah and the first thing my Dad said to me was "You are HUGE!"
Thanks Dad. :)
My McDreamy all ready to assist in the delivery.
Ok, so these goo covered pictures are not the best but it is part of DJ's story so the squeemish should look away!
First, everyone in the operating room commented on his red
hair so naturally we thought he actually had red hair - turns
out he was just covered in the goo of life and indeed does not have red hair.
Second, c-section babies are known to be pretty,
not misshapen or abused from the trek the natural
way out but not my boy. Nope. He would not come out!
After much cutting and prying and at least 2 people jumping
on my belly little DJ had to be sucked out!
The doctor later appoligized to him for giving him his first hickey.
My dude looking much better after a bath and a little time to let his noggin heal.
Nana and Papa's first visit and of course my dad brings the official Stenquist welcome to the family gift - a gun. And yes, he did get quite a few stares for bringing that to the hospital but this being Texas he got quite a few high fives too!
Jimbo and his son.
A toast to the new arrival
And best of all a welcome to the world kiss from his big sister!

What a big ol' hicky!! That's rad!! And the gun...oh my the gun!! I love it!
Yay! He's sooo cute, even with his big hicky. He can't have that Daisy Red Ryder. He'll shoot his eye out. The stubbornous of not wanting to come out will probably cue you into his temperment for life. Congrats! We miss you!
Congratulations! I heard the good news yesterday from Camille. I hope you can now start feeling better and give that poor back of yours a break!
I'm so happy for you. He's darling. And now you have one of each! Good reason to stop, right?
Good luck with everything!
This made me cry and I've already seen him! I can't wait until he's a little older so I can smooch on him and give him ice cream (remember that? HAAAAAAAAAAA)
I love you guys and i'm sooo glad you have a boy and better yet, that you, Angel, have a boyfriend! woo woo!
hooray for dj!!! that poor little guy just didn't want to come out did he???? congrats--miss you guys....
Angel he is so cute! Such a blessing for your family and I loved the picture of Sarah and DJ.So sweet. The one with your dad made me laugh. Your dad is such a character. God bless him. :) I'm so happy all went well. Congrats!!
Heather
Congrats! You guys sure do make cute kids. How Sarah doing with him? Does she just love him? He's a cutie
Yippie..... he's here. I am so happy for you guys. Gotta love Dad, only him, huh?
What a gorgeous little guy!!! Congratulations!!!! Angel you look so dang cute. I hope you are healing well and having lots of good times cuddling your new bundle of love. Hugs!!
He is gorgeous! And so ruggedly handsome!! I love the picture of Sarah kissing him...that is priceless!
I have to say that my heart ached a little when I saw his little head. And a bit again when you said he doesn't have red hair :( But then I saw sweet big sis kissing him and all was as it should be. You'll love seeing her love him up but she'll also probably cause him the most torment. Even mild tempered kids (Emily) have been known to chuck blocks at their sisters causing a trip to Med Express for a doctor to Super Glue the wound back together.
But enough about me! Thanks for sharing your preg pic too. The only sad thing is I look like that now and I have two more months!
Snuggle your family up!!! Congrats!
He's so sweet!! It's true, there's some things you only see in Texas.
