Is 24 + hours of painful, bloody misery really too much to ask?

How odd that was my exact weight and height when I entered existence.

Happy Birthday, Atticus, and way to go Mom!

(Surpassingly cool name, too.)

…separated at birth…

:smiley:

A thousand Mazel Tov’s !!! ;j

Me, I was smart. I had my babies at the airport. :wink:

May the diety of your choice rain down blessings upon your new offspring. My WAG? This person will be late for things his entire life. Might as well adjust to that now.

Congrats!

I, too, love the name.

Now get back here and start posting. You have a reputation to uphold. :slight_smile:

Hello everyone and thanks so much for all the warm congratulations. I was just released last night, and it’s very good to be back home. I was missing my bed, my dog, and–of course–the boards, not necessarily in that order.
As requested, I have pictures! Check out my little devil here and here. I think he’s absolutely beautiful, but I’m pretty biased, so please feel free to tell me that I’m not mistaken. :slight_smile:

Like Abbey said, he was 8 lb 6 oz, 21" long which is a full pound and nearly an inch bigger than his brother was. In the grand tradition of my life, nothing went quite as planned and I ended up having to have an emergency C-section. That was very scary, and the recovery has been pretty brutal, but the end result was a healthy, handsome baby boy so I’m not complaining. Much.
Big brother has been completely entranced with him, and keeps wanting to kiss his cheeks and give him his pacifier, even when he’s nursing! It’s cute enough to make you wanna retch, seriously.

I’ve gotta run now, milk duty calls (just call me Bessie). I’ll post back later when I get a minute.

Let me be the first to say that he is absolutely adorable and sweet and a darling little boy. Awwwwwwwwww…

Glad to hear that mom and Atticus are healthy…what an entrance little guy!

Best wishes from our family to yours.

::squeal::

He’s SO cute!!!

Congrats, bella!

Congrats belladonna, on a darling little son. Nice moniker, too.

Congrats, belladonna.

What a handsome devil! :slight_smile:

Wow…super cute kid. Most newborns are kind of misshapen and odd looking…yours is one of the few newborn babies I can truly and honestly say, “What a cutie!” Congratulations to you and your family!
