He is a cutie!

 My grandson was born towards the end of May!  The OB doctor had scheduled an agreed induction date, having decided that as she was borderline high blood pressure and borderline diabetic and that the baby was a good size it would be better for all.  Daughter L had a smooth delivery, it seemed to go perfectly.  We are all overjoyed.  He was 8 lbs 2 oz, 52 cm.  She highly recommends the epidural pain killer, it helped immensely.  She ended up knowing her anaesthesiologist from high school!  They greeted each other by first names and he asked if she was ok with him administering the epidural as they knew each other.  She did not care at that point. 

It has been a busy time and we are helping out where we can.  Breastfeeding is a hard job for the mom with little rest allowed.  Daughter L and her husband are already such good parents.  I ended up getting them some newborn onesies as 0-3 month clothes didn't fit.  The ultrasounds can be misleading, pointing to a 70-90th percentile baby!

He is a cutie and we are overjoyed as are family and friends!  Baby C is here!

Congratulations! He sounds like a big, healthy baby boy. I wish I had an epidural with my second kid.

Kay said...

Yay! Congratulations, Christine! 8 lbs 2 oz.? That is a very healthy baby. My daughter had the epidural and was glad to have it. I had to rely on Lamaze to help with the pain. ;-)
