It's a boy!

[Splash]

Just wanted to let everyone know that our son was FINALLY born by emergency cesarean (he started out to be a home birth, but couldn't make it down) last Thursday.
He weighed 11 lbs 7 oz and is 22 inches long. He is now up over 12 pounds. He is definitely a HUGE baby!
Mommy and baby are doing great... he has slept through the night since he was born, which has been a huge surprise for us, but boy does he wake up hungry!
His name is Charles David... Charlie.

[Puddy73]

Congratulations and welcome to the world, Charlie! How lucky you are to have such a great sleeper!

[Splash]

okay.. you can see SOME pictures of him at photos.yahoo.com/splashandwally
I abandoned Yahoo fairly quickly because it was only partially uploading some pics... as in, cutting off the bottoms (you'll see) and always uploading three copies of everything... so I went to Snapfish, and although all the pics are there, I don't have a URL for them except to send everyone an email invite... annoying.
But there are a lot of pics at yahoo too, so you can see him and Jean... and before you ask, no, there are none of me. I was taking the pictures!! People keep complaining there are none of me... sorry!
