DAVID PATRICK SHEDD was born on 17 March 2009 at 1704.  He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long.  He immediately owned his parents hearts.

Overall the labor and delivery were perfect and mom and baby both did very well throughout.
Daddy immediately learned the finer points of fatherhood and administered the first diaper change....Thanks Daddy!!!!

Beautiful David:

Daddy spending time with David....The consensus seems to be that David looks like Tim :-)

Momma Shedd came for a visit to help the new parents.  It was wonderful to have her here and made the transition home easier.  She allowed Tim and I to spend time together without suffering the effects of sheer exhaustion.  Thank You Momma Shedd!!!!

We Baptized David on 22 March 2009 to have it done while Tim was home.  It was a very nice ceremony performed at Sunday Mass at the Air Force Base Chapel.  Uncle Stephen and Aunt Jenni, the Godparents, came for the occasion.  Thank You!!!!
