2013-12-06 Nathan Jeffery Conley is born

 At 4:34 pm in Lone Peak hospital Melanie delivered her 5th child, yet to be named. He seems perfect in every way weighing 7 lbs and 20 1/4 inches tall. Andrew and Elizabeth and Grandpa were 20 minutes late for the delivery, but Anna, Eden and Grandma were on time, but had to sit in the waiting room anyway.
He looks like a Conley child, and he has a dimple in his right cheek, not shown in these two photos. After a few minutes holding the newborn we took Andrew, Elizabeth, Anna and Eden to Costco for hot dogs and pizza. We brought pizza back to Jeff at the hospital where he stayed the night with Melanie.

Our joy in the newborn Conley was tempered by the miscarriage Natalie had on the same day. This loss is probably more difficult since they heard the heartbeat earlier and then no heartbeat at the last doctor visit.
