This is Justin. I offered to set Kenzee up with the laptop on her hospital bed so she could blog but for some reason she would rather hold our new baby...
Here are the baby stats:
- Time of birth: 5:10 PM
- Weight: 6 lbs 15 oz
- Height: 20 1/2 inches
- Name: No, we do not have one yet.
I would say everything went pretty smoothly. Kenzee was a trooper and didn't get the epidural until she was dilated to a seven. Not that she really had a choice since the anaesthesiologist was preoccupied in a c-section for forty minutes. I know that she was in a lot of pain and a little out of it, because I went to turn off the DVD player and she exclaimed, "you can't give me the (Fentanyl) injection!" She pretty much had the baby right after the epidural so she still couldn't feel her legs that well after six hours.
One shock was that his umbilical cord had a "true" knot that could have been dangerous but he seems to be okay because the knot wasn't too tight. They explained that he probably was not as big as Nolan because of the kink. I guess in hindsight I'm glad we had the baby a little earlier so that the knot hadn't tightened up. I can't resist posting a picture though-apologies to the squeamish:
After he was born, they called in a NICU nurse because his face was purple. His oxygen levels are fine so they determined that his poor face is just bruised up from the journey.
He nursed well so far and is resting. We love this additional sweetie!

Oh!! He's so sweet! Nolan is sitting on my lap saying, "Love Baby Brother!" and then I'm afraid he says, "Hit! Baby Brother!" We're really working on that for you. Hey, at least he is saying the "Love" part! Right? I'm so glad everything went well for you guys! I already love that little baby!
