Our timely little fellow arrived on his due date! Maverick David Folks was born at 5:25pm today, January 31st. The big guy weighed in at 9 lbs, 2 oz, coincidentally the same birth weight as yours truly! He's 20 inches long, only a half an inch shorter than his brother's birth height. He has a full head of DARK BROWN hair and gorgeous baby blue eyes. Some claim his looks just like his big brother, excluding Mitchell signature red hair, but time will tell.
His delivery was 100 times easier than Mitchell's. My water broke at 4am and I was ready to begin pushing 12 hours later at 4pm. We waited an hour for the doctor and had our little beauty in our arms a few minutes later.
My Dad brought Mitchell up to the hospital to see his new little brother tonight and he wasn't quite sure what to think! At one point he said "He's cute!" At another point, he said "I don't want him." Oh, the struggles we are about to encounter :)
Why Maverick David, you ask? Our lucky little kiddo has 2 Grandpa's named Rick, one of which is my father. He has 3 Grandpa's/Great-Gpa's named David, one of which is Jacob's father. He will have such strong namesakes to live up to!
We feel VERY blessed to have another beautiful, healthy little boy! I look forward to posting some pictures when we get home from the hospital on Tuesday. Thanks to all for your encouragement along this pregnancy journey! We are so blessed to be surrounded by such caring friends and family.
Now I will try to get a half hour of shut eye before the nurse comes to prod on me and the baby is ready for his next feeding!

Congratulations and thank you for another wonderful grandson! I look forward to meeting Maverick and spending time with Mitchell--Look at this! I just noticed their names are both 8 letters long-- Was that planned?
I'm so glad the delivery was easier this time. See you soon!
Congratulations...I can't wait to see a picture! Happy to be an aunt again!!!!! Love, Katy :)
Congratulations on the arrival of Maverick. I can't wait to see pictures! I know that he and Mitchell will be the best of friends!
Congratulations! And so punctual! ;-) Can't wait to see pictures of the whole family!
He looks a lot like Mitchell. I believe his face is a little fuller. He has more hair--it looks like Jacob's. His expressions looks like Mandi. He is absolutely beautiful!
Ahhh!!! Yaaaaaaaay!!!! I just knew you had to be in labor yesterday being that it was your due date and there was no post stating that little man wasn't here! That is so cool he was born on his due date! Congratulations to your family of four. I am so glad he is here safe and sound! Look forward to many posts of those baby blues...
Congrats! He's beautiful.
