On Monday, October 5th, at 7:47am, in a cold operating room, we warmly welcomed the arrival of Thane Brogan Lentz. Apparently we're not as good at math as we thought, as Thane ended up being a few weeks younger than planned and was technically premature. He still weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz., and it just figures that we would have a 9 lb preemie! He initially had difficulty eating and gave us a little scare when he continued to lose weight, but he has overcome and is rapidly catching up (note the double chin in the photo below).
Thane, by the way, is the ancient Scottish title for a feudal lord. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "Thagn", which means warrior. At a mere 9 pounds, however, he'll probably need another year or two to live up to his name.
In the interim, we are grateful for a healthy baby boy, who is perfect from his hands...
...to his feet.
Thane is a very mellow little guy, and he mostly sleeps. In fact, people who have met him don't believe that we have ever seen the whites of his eyes. For the doubters out there, I've even managed to get a quick photo of his baby blues:

For those of us waiting for the "release" of Than photos... a cheer erupts! Now that you're parents to a toddler AND an infant we'll be seeing more blog posts - right?!?
Amy,
Congrats to your new addition to the family! It looks like you have a wonderful, satisfying life. Perhaps Tara and could make a visit sometime in the future!
Love to you, Jordan, Annabelle, and the fam,

Congratulations of the birth of little Thane. Sure wish I could be there rocking him. Thanks for the Christmas card and updated news. I'm so jealous! Take care and love to all. Say hello to Jordan's parents for me. Happy Holidays right back to you. Grace
