And Here's Where the Fun Begins...

Wow, that was an amazing experience. C-sections are really mind boggling. I don't think we could have had a better birth experience, and as it turns out, DS had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice. I also have a fibroid at the entrance to the birth canal, which the OB mentioned would have been nie impossible for DS to pass through.

Here are the stats:

born August 27, 2007

4:40 in the afternoon

8 hefty pounds, 15 extra ounces

21 1/2 mighty inches long

Baby Bear is cute, cuddly and active. He has a strong grip, big feet and a super-sized cranium. (Thanks to the suction efforts by the OB, who had a tough time getting him to come out! He's sporting a nice hematoma on the back of his head.) He had jaundice for the first few days, but he fed like a champ and beat those yellow nasties pretty easily. He sleeps in good spurts and loves his paci. (We thought we were super-opposed to pacifiers, but then we reminded ourselves that we don't know what the heck we're doing, so it's too early yet to be super-opposed to anything, for Pete's sake.)
