John Charles Peterson

John Charles

It’s official, our lives will never be the same! John Charles Peterson entered the world at 5:57pm on Thursday, May 7, 2009. He checked in at 10 lbs, 6 oz, 21 inches long - it has definitely been discussed that Liz gave birth to a 2 month old child. Liz and I are adjusting to life with a newborn and wondering how it is possible to love a little baby so much when all HE has done so far is eat, sleep, cry, and poop. We definitely have our work cut out for us with my medical school graduation next weekend, our cross-country move in 2 weeks, and the start of my residency next month back in St. Paul, MN. In spite of the stress, we feel incredibly blessed and are so thankful for our friends and family who have supported us, brought food, and sent encouraging texts and emails.

Our little man is named after his grandparents, John Peterson and Charles Hutson, and for now likes to go by the nickname J.C. Check out his photo gallery for all of the official pictures! We had quite the experience bringing him into the world, and as it is a relatively lengthy tale we will share it here to minimize any left out details in case you otherwise hear it second-hand.
