I don't have much time to write, as I have been sent by my wife on an errand to gather various things from home and return to the hospital. One of my assignments was to post to the blog that Amanda had the baby last night at 11:05pm - just 55 minutes shy of being born on 8-8-08. His name is Charles Dean Skidmore. He weighed in at 10 pounds even and 21 inches long. Both child and mom are happy and healthy and enjoying some R&R, while dad runs errands. We went in at 3pm expecting a full day event, only to see things progress quite rapidly. Below is a picture or two for your enjoyment. I will not say too much so that Amanda can post all the gorey details later.

CONGRATULATIONS! He is beautiful! Let me know if we can do anything for you.
WOW! What a handsome little guy- so cute! Congrats. Amanda deserves a medal for delivering a ten-pounder- what a trooper! Let me know when I can drop by a dinner- I have all the fixings ready for a lasagna.
Happy Birthday Chuck from Uncle Chuck. That was my high school nickname.
Great news!!! I'm so glad he's here. 10 pounds! I can't believe it, Amanda does get a medal for that. He looks fabulous!
10 pounds?!? You are my hero :) !! He is beautiful!
Congrats on such a fast labor and delivery ... can't wait to hear the details and to meet the new little one.
Good luck with all the new adjustments. Call if you need anything. I will probably check in on you soon :) !!
Yay! Congratulations! I can't wait to read all about it. Adorable pictures. What a sweet little face!!
10 lbs!?!?! Wow, that's one big baby. I guess she was showing just a little bit. :) congrats...and welcome to having 2.
christopher,
let me offer heart-felt congratulations on behalf of the burgess family - spokane chapter. i do however have to make note of something you yourself remarked on recently. you stated that you were not quite convinced that you and amanda were actually expecting.
perhaps that was due to her being so far passed the expected time of arrival, perhaps it was due to her, in reality, not really even being pregnant at all!
i know everyone else is thinking it, i'm just saying it here my good friend - don't think that people close to you do not realize that those are not actually photos of your new born son! they, in fact, are photos of samuel, passed of as photos of this "charles" that you speak of.
please give us all a little more credit and listen to me when i say,
"would the real charles dean skidmore please stand up?"
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you and can't wait for all the "gorey details."

Congrats!! That is awesome and we are happy for you! 10 pounds is huge - I think you got a football player on your hands. If you play your cards right, that's your retirement!
Adorable! Congratulations!
