Pete Allen Silverthorne

Today one of the best-kept secrets of the past couple of years was finally revealed: the newest addition to the Silverthorne family. Unbeknownst to even Andrea and Bryan (i.e., the parents) themselves, this morning at 8:11 AM, April 5 in the year of our Lord 2008, they were blessed with a beautiful and perfectly healthy baby boy.




Pete Allen Silverthorne was born at 8:11 AM on Saturday, April 5, 2008 at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas. He weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured in at 21 inches in length. Pete was delivered by family obstetrician, Dr. James Mauldin.



Andrea, over a week past due, missed induction (i.e. inducement) by a meager 48 hours. While having been dilated the entire past week, there had not been much evidence to suggest Pete would come as a thief in the night. But he did. Having checked into the hospital shortly before 6 AM, the Silverthorne's first son was delivered just over two hours later!



The day was cause for much celebration friends, family, and well-wishers stopped by to see the strapping young lad. Bryan and Andrea welcomed their son into the world, and Aubrey was thrust into the role of BIG SISTER!



The parents being hole up in the hospital, I've been given the honorary privilege of guest-blogging the Silverthorne's big news. (Check back soon to see some video footage documenting the morning's events!)

I know all loyal Silverthorne Sentinal readers join me in congratulating Bryan and Andrea on the birth of their beautiful bouncing baby boy, Pete Allen Silverthorne.
