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.

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.

Congratulations, Laura and Peter!!!
But now, to share a little tidbit off the People story that you guys liked too.

"In other Project Runway baby news, Heidi Klum also recently welcomed a son. And judge Nina Garcia is expecting her first child in March."

So Congratulations are in order for Miss Heidi Klum and Seal. And OMFG MissNinaGarciaFashionistaBitchOnWheels

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?

Anonymous said...

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."

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.

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.

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'

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.

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.
