It’s a Boy!

Alexander William
Born November 19, 2007 at 9:05 am
6 lbs 5 oz
20 inches



Mom went in to the hospital on Sunday night to be induced on Monday morning, but before they could get started, she went into labor on her own just before 7 am.

Alex managed to tie his umbilical cord in a knot. That, combined with an unusually fast labor of only 2 hours, kept things interesting. However, mother and baby are both doing well and expect to come home on Wednesday.

Just look at that cute little bundle - he looks perfect! Congratulations to everyone in the family!

You definitely must be a sprint triathlete with that labor time - way to go! And I'm happy for you that you got to go into labor all on your own and not have to be induced.

Hope you all are feeling well and getting rest. Which might be hard to do with a new baby in the house. But I'm not telling you anything you don't know by now.
