Our baby Boy has arrived

Our baby boy has arrived and what an arrival! He made his intentions known early yesterday morning when his momma awoke to find out her water had broken.

By 2 o'clock the doctor decided to help move the labor along and began to induce labor. By 10P.M. she was given an epidural as her labor pain were 3 minutes apart.

At 11:30 P.M. Tim called and said they were going to do a C-Section as the baby's heart rate would decrease after her contractions. We arrived at the hospital at 12:15 to be greeted by the neonatalogist who assured us that baby was fine and good looking too!

Because she was the only one in the recovery room, and because we had driven 8 hours to be there, they let us go into recovery to see the new family and of course our boy. Suzy is totally drained but feeling no pain ( as a matter of fact she couldn't even feel her arms so couldn't hold him yet. I got a good look at him through the isolete and snapped these two pictures before we left them .

He was born at 11:55 P.M. and weighed in at 7 pounds 3 oz. He has black hair and was wide awake and looking around when we saw him. Suzy will be in the hospital till Wednesday.

I was given very good advice to not announce his name till his mom or dad post it......so even though it's killing me, kindly refer to him as "Tiny Tim" or jellybean till then.

Son Andy had a dream a few nights ago that the baby would be good looking with black hair. I think he will want to baby sit"Tiny Tim" because he is such a cute baby and will be an instant "Chick magnet" if he walks him in the park. What are nephews for if not to attract beautiful girls.

Pray for a quick recovery for Suzy.
