    The baby was due Nov 15. It just seems like 11 months because we had to suffer through it too! Born on my sister's birthday.

    ReplyDelete
  63. And for Laura, some are shocked at 6 but I think you are a heroine. I can't think of a better person/mother and father to bless with such a bounty. God love you all.

    I love the name Finn and want to hear the story behind the name. I want pictures too! I want I want. Take care of the child born with his own fan club.

  80. Hooray! Fabulous baby arrives (fashionably late, of course!) What a great name! Congrats to the whole family.

    Those of you asking about the name...my guess (based also upon some of the other boys' names) is that some members of the Bennett/Shelton clan are Scandinavian. Just a shot in the dark, there... :)

    I think it's an Irish name, isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  82. I found this:

    "Fionn, Finn

    Means "fair-headed." Fionn Mac Cool (read the legend), a central character in Irish folklore and mythology lead the warrior band, the Fianna (read the legend). Fionn was not only incredibly strong but he was also extremely brave, handsome, generous and wise, a wisdom he aquired by touching the "Salmon of Knowledge" (read the legend) and then sucking his thumb.
    The name is popular in Ireland with both spellings Fionn and Finn."

  83. Let me add my congrats, Laura, Peter & boys! Little Finn will have so much love, being our little pr baby. I shall have to knit him a hat!

    Finn is a cool name, I was rooting for Gunnar, tho.;-)

  84. I agree, Finn is a cool name. I prefer short names. Let me add my congratulations too. Best wishes to you Laura, Peter, Finn, and you whole family.

  87. Having a baby is the most rewarding blessing I have encountered in my
    life. Although there are days when it
    gets difficult and tiring, I would not trade my life for the world right now. Congratulations, Laura!

  88. All I need now for perfect happiness is a shot of Finn in the No 6 onesie. Then my life will be complete.

  92. Welcome to the world, young Finn. My mind has been mightily distracted waiting for this baby. My FIRST was nearly 4 weeks late so I think I know how she must have felt just waiting and waiting. I hope all is well and that even more joy comes to this fabulous family.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Congrats to badmommy, baddaddy, and badsiblings! May he, and all your children, grow up to be healthy and happy.

  98. Congrats Laura! I really like that name, Finn. It's cute and not one of those overly used names floating around today, with weird spellings etc. I'm likin' it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Janet: Well, I'm almost certain that Piek is a Dutch name...wait...is the Netherlands considered part of the Scandinavian region? Oh, well, it's up there in Northern Europe somewhere...shoot. I'm both geographically and anthroponomastically challenged. Just ignore me…

    ReplyDelete
  100. I can't believe only one other person in this group of 100+ posters picked up on the pun in the name, Finn being fin, or the end. Haven;t you noticed Laura and Peter are clever with names: Pierson = Peter's son and Larson = Laura's son.

    ReplyDelete
  101. YAY! Peace and blessings to Laura, Finn, and the rest of the family!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Congratulations, Laura! I like Fin whatever that is...German, Irish, French, end of a name...

    ReplyDelete
  103. Why didn't you guys ever sponsor a "Name Laura's baby" contest? I think we'd have had fun with that. Of course, we'd have to watch out for Jeffrey anonymously contributing names like 'Sigmund' or 'Tremayne' or (gulp) 'Jeffrey'

  130. "and weighed in at 8 lbs."

    Is that a big baby? I have no idea. Just curious!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Is that a big baby? I have no idea. Just curious!

    For a smaller person like Laura, somewhat big. But babies can gain up to a pound a week at the very end, so if this baby wasn't overdue, he probably would have been around 6 lbs. Boy babies tend to weigh more also.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I give Laura two weeks, max, to lose all the baby weight. She certainly has the self-control, and she's also pretty much Wonderwoman -- if anyone can do it, Laura can.

  147. My 18-month-old son is Finn (short for Finnegan, which is a family name). I must admit, I am quite thrilled to have something in common with a woman of such impeccable taste.

  150. Congratulations Laura and husband. Am so glad you had a healthy baby boy...my gosh, 8 lbs and you still look like a million dollars. Just how do you do it?

    I hope your other children just adore their new baby brother. Tell them it is their baby and they are in charge...one day that may be a real blessing.

    Once again, congratulations!
