Baby Update

September 22, 2009 · 12 comments

First, thanks to everyone for their well wishes on our recent addition

It was a rough start to our little boy’s life…he didn’t want to take that first breath, and needed quite a lot of help to convince him that it was in his best interest. After a night in the NICU, the doctors determined that he was ready to join mommy and daddy, and we’re now all back together. On top of that, my wife needed a semi-emergency C-Section, so she has some recovery to do as well.

But all-in-all, after a rough several hours, things are now fantastic! And again, thanks to everyone for all the kind words…

Congrats to the both of you. So what your saying is he’s already showing stubbornness lol. I wonder who’s going to blame who for that. :) Glad to hear all is well.

Congrats J Scott to you and your family. You should create a blog about raising the baby. I’ll need a guide in the next couple of years.

Wow, that’s our story exactly (minus c sec) with our little guy (born 12/14/08, 8 lbs, 8 oz). Couldnt take his first breath b/c he was all clogged up with mucus. I am sure your guy will be fine. Congrats bro, what a beautiful thing.

Thanks Tom for the encouragement…he’s been doing great since a few hours after he was born, so there are no more worries at this point. But, as I’m sure you know, those first few hours were quite terrifying…
