Look At Walter!

Okay, this post is kinda cross-posted from the PDD Comments but it saves me having to type it all twice as my fingers still haven't quite recovered from the severe squeezing of Ezra's hand while Walter entered the world...

Walter Allen B...

birthday: February 22, 2008

Time of Birth: 10:58pm

length: 21 inches
weight: 7lbs 10oz
hair: spiky peach fuzz
favorite noise to make: squeak!
clothing/diapers: hates them already

The "story":

After a successful day of union negotiations for SMDC, my water broke in Cub Foods' parking lot as we were heading to get groceries for the weekend. I'll spare you the gory details, but three hours after leaving SMDC, I returned to SMDC at 7pm.

Walter was born four hours later. No time for pain meds, which was definitely NOT in the plan.

The doctor barely made it into the room for the delivery; he didn't even get his mask on. In fact, once things really started happening, they didn't even have a chance to break the bed down and pull out the stirrups. He just got to catch. lol...

Tough love weighed heavily during the delivery when repeated requests for a C-section were ignored by Ezra and the nurse, especially when it was clear there were no pain meds arriving and no stopping Walter's arrival!

Walter's got ten fingers, ten toes, and a healthy appetite that won't quit.

I am enjoying all of the post-pregnancy joys - those of you who are moms know what that means! Those of you who aren't or you dads out there, well, don't worry, your turn will come!

Walter had his first meal out today when we celebrated the family tradition of bringing the new baby to the Brewhouse for the first meal out of the hospital!

Hazel is doing well - she has given Walter lots of kisses but mostly she is ignoring him. lol... that'll change.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and comments. I am now going to bed. Gots to catch up on sleep while I can!
