Wilber Baby #4
Declan Eire Wilber was born 7:51AM July 11, 2008. He weighs 7lbs 7 ozs and is 20 inches long. (This is the tiniest of the children yet.) Everyone is healthy and both are growing happier by the minute as they heal and get some sleep.
Declan is a Gaelic name meaning "full of goodness". Since our children have lived up to the meanings of their names we tried to choose wisely. We're hoping the trend continue.
I will let Heather (or I will later) fill in a more detailed story when we have some sleep behind each of us. Each of us have about 3 hours of sleep under our belt over the last 40 hours or so.
There are some pictures attached, but there are more at Flickr.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers,

Hooray and congratulations!!! What a beautiful little boy, and family!!!!! Here's to everyone's healing and sleep!
Thank you for the update! Congrats on the new addition. HE's beautiful!
Enjoy some sleep and peace, and post again soon!
Congratulations! What a wonderful family you have! Can we have a phonetic spelling of his name so we can say it to the kids properly? They keep asking us what the babie's name is and we are stumbling over our tongues not quite sure how to say it. :)
Declan is pronounced 'deck-lan' and Eire is pronounced 'I-er' (like Ireland minus the land). Eire is actually the Irish word for Ireland.
We came home today and other than needing a good nap, we're doing great. He's a real good baby. I'll try to write more after I've slept and my brain is recharged.
