New Baby

Well after 34 hours of labor, two hours of pushing, and the help of the vaccum thingy, we finally got our baby boy. Here is a picture shortly after he was born. He was 8 lbs 1 oz and he is still a little swollen in this picture. He was 21 inches long. He is so sweet. All he wanted to do was sleep all the time. He also wanted his hands free. Every time the nurses would swaddle his arms up, he would scream until we freed the arms and then he would fall asleep. We even had to wake him up to feed him.


We were admitted on Monday and released on Thursday. The pediatrician wanted us to have him spend some time in the sun wearing only his diaper because he was a little jaundiced. He is such a character that he wanted to stretch out instead of sitting upright. So every day he ended up in this position.
