We are so happy to announce that on January 8th at about 10:20 PM Aimei gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He was just under 6 lbs and had long hands and feet. He was born with a full head of hair and his grandpa Phillips was jealous.
Aimei is doing great and was walking around faster than any of the hospital staff had ever seen. She even helped me load some of the bags in the car when we were leaving the hospital. Crazy girl. She just went to Walmart to buy some things and I wouldn't be surprised if when she got home, she went for a run on the treadmill.
We are both so happy and everytime I look at him I just can't beleive how blessed we are. I have never immediately felt so much love for anything. He makes funny facial expressions and he passes a lot of gas, but that just adds to his cuteness.
After Aimei became pregnant we debated a lot over names. We finally settled on Maxwell Daniel Phillips. I love the name Max because when I was about 10 years old I saw the movie "Hiding Out." In the film, the main character has to go undercover as a high school student to hide from the mob. The main character has to make up a name and when he sees a can of coffee he says, "my name is Maxwell House, I mean, Maxwell Houser." I loved the show and the name. His middle name comes from Aimei's dad. We joked that we were going to call him Elvis since he was born on Elvis' birthday. Long live the king.

Congratulations you guys! I figured when you called me on Thursday that you wouldn't be returning to work. However, I hadn't heard anything. Happy that you're all doing well. I have a gift, but will wait for things to settle down a little (okay, that isn't going to happen until maybe he's 18 years old). Congrats again!
