Ford was born this morning at 11:43. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces, surprising the doctors and nurses who had predicted a 6 to 7 pound baby. When he caught his breath, he proved to have a loud voice. He also had no trouble rooting and latching on. Just a few hours old and already making his father proud.
Mama is doing great. We were admitted around 4:30 this morning. After 7 hours labor, she began pushing. Thirteen minutes later, she was holding her son.
Chimpy got to meet her brother this evening and told the nurses proudly, "That my brother, Jojo." She brought two rattles, one for her and one to share.
We are all happy and healthy and tired.
