Introducing John Samuel Malloy!

You are finally here! A baby boy for Mommy & Daddy and a baby brother for Maggie.
You were born at 8:47 am weighing 8 lbs 10 oz and measuring 20 inches long. The surgery went very well and both you and Mom are doing fine.

You are the fifth John Malloy but just like your Daddy (John Jeffrey the 4th), we have decided to call you by your middle name which is Samuel (or Sam or Sammy). We are so proud to pass on both these names to our beautiful baby boy.

Your first visitors today were Grammy Carol, Nanny & Grampie Sam, Grampie Jack and of course your big sister Maggie. Your were also introduced to Dave & Marn, Julie Kyle, Kathia, Jeff and Zach Ferguson, Cousin Carol Ottens, Uncle Mike and Heidi. You will meet many more freinds and relatives in the upcoming days!! Mommy didn't get much sleep last night(maybe an hour or two) as she was quite anxious, awaiting your arrival. She was able to catch-up on some much required rest in the afternoon today.

The delivery went very well, however the doctors had trouble getting you out of Mommys pelvic area. Unlike your older sister you were prepared for a natural birth. The way the doctors put it was they had to "scoop you out", and in the process bruised your cheek. Daddy suggested we put a hockey jersey on you since you looked tough!! At first he figured a HABS jersey, to represent the toughness, however it looked like you may have taken the worst of the battle therefore a Leafs jersey may be more appropriate!! Just Kidding, I would never do that to you!!! Anyhow we all love you very much already and can't wait until tomorrow to introduce you to the world.

As parents we wondered if we would be able to love a second child as much as our first but what "they" say is true: somehow your heart expands and we have certainly found just as much love for you! We are so very blessed to have two beautiful and healthy children - our million dollar family!
Love, Dad
