Elliot arrived at approximately 3:35 yesterday afternoon. Our flight was delayed by a faulty a/c unit on the plane, and we got the news while sitting on the tarmac in Cincinnati as they tried to fix it. We finally arrived in Wilmington and after an hour wait for our luggage, we arrived at the hospital at 7pm.
We fell in love at first sight. Elliot is such a cute, peaceful baby. 8 pounds, 11 ounces, 21 inches long, with strawberry blond hair. Andrea was tired but resting comfortably after achieving her goal of a completely natural childbirth. Robert and Ann Talley were leaving just as we arrived, with big smiles on their faces. Chris was the doting new father, tending to Andrea's and Elliot's every need. Less than five minutes after we arrived, Linda was holding her new grandson. Unfortunately, Elliot slept the whole 90 minutes we were there, and we left around 8:30pm to let Andrea get some well deserved rest.
We'll have pictures later today, but if you can't wait, click on the link to Andrea and Chris' Baby blog on the right. Also, uncle Tony arrives this afternoon. We'll write more later, but we have to leave for the hospital now.
Luv ya, Linda and Jim

Congrats to you, Grandma and Grandpa Wimmers! He looks like a handsome young man and I can't wait to meet him. Glad you were able to get there, even if it was later than you would have liked.
