IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

Well, not really a big surprise since we knew this little bundle of joy was sporting a Y chromosome, but today he officially arrived!

Given her obstetrician's concerns about the baby's size, we opted to have an elective C-Section today and forego the induction of labor, that may have resulted in a(n)[emergent] C-Section anyway. So after several delays, (other emergent C-Sections that bumped our place in line for take-off) at 17:33 EST our little guy took his first non-liquid breath. Happy Birthday buddy!



Tipping the scales at 8lbs 5 oz, he is not quite the behemoth that was predicted, (of course it isn't MY pelvic ring that he would have had to go through...) but he is noticeably bigger than any of his siblings were. (and yes I DO remember back that far!)

Mom and baby are doing just fine.



There were some visitors...

Rileigh and mommy:


John finally gets to hold his little brother


Meagan is taller than 2 of her siblings...for now!



Kaitlyn and her baby brother


One of my favorite moments:



Kathy's proud parents:



The Brood is complete:



Oh yeah, I was there too:










Time for a nap already!

What a beautiful baby! Hard to believe that Vinnie can make such gorgeous kids. The wonder of genetics - we really do give the best of ourselves to our children.
Congrats to everyone. Love ya, guys.

Congrats buddy! Where did you find time to attend a delivery during surgical rotation though? Hope you enjoy whatever time you get with the new addition!

Vince said...

Tracie,

I'm gonna take that as a compliment and quickly move on hahahaha

Scott,

Even the Soul-less Corpse-Cutters were understanding when I told them I needed the day off (especially when I told them it was to be a SURGICALbirth ;-)
I have only got 3 more weeks on the Surgery rotation and then a 2 week break before ...[drumroll]...PEDS! hehehehehe
