Hello Family!
Brad and Kyra have their sweet baby boy, born 3.31.11 at 8:24 am, weight 9 pounds 3 ounces (4.17 kilos for us Europeans) and 21 inches long. Kyra was in labor many hours (they count 56 hours), and in the hospital about 24 hours (pushing the last 5 hours) before he was born. I think she looks great after all that! Both Baby and Mom are doing well. They came home from the hospital very late on April 1st. So some of you know that Kyra's niece, Rachel, had suggested the baby be named "Cobra" and Brad and Kyra used "Baby Cobra" as his nickname prior to birth. They did not tell anyone what names they were considering prior to his birth. So, the day after he was born, Brad posted on Facebook his picture and announced his name: Putnam Cobalt Liggett. (Note: that was on April 1st). The next day Brad posted his real name and picture: Winslow Robert Liggett. He had gotten the fake picture by googling "Ugly Baby". Those that responded to the initial April Fool's joke seemed to take the news of the truth well (some showing relief at the real picture and real name)! Fortunately we were not taken in by the joke (we realized it was April 1st and we also knew that he had light brown hair, the fake pictured baby had black hair!
So though we are in Germany and far away, our love and prayers and hearts reach far across the oceans to our sweet Winslow, his parents and all of you. Natalie is at Brad and Kyra's home (was there since Monday, I think) and went through the long waiting with them. Krya's sister Mandi arrived the day after his birth and is also there now. So, Kyra and Brad are being supported. I see pictures of Grandma and Grandpa Heffner with Baby Winslow also. They live 30-45 minutes away.
