Big Baby

He's here and healthy--really healthy--9 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 1/2 inches. His name is Gunnar middle name Watson which is my maiden name. I don't have pictures yet to post though 100s were taken by his proud dad. My camera is so poor, I thought I'd wait to get his.

Gunner was born C-section and it's probably good he was. Being so big and just a little over due he swallowed some mechoniam (not sure of spelling) and had the cord wrapped some around his neck. I don't think it would have been pretty giving birth normally with all of those factors. He is a trooper. He cries loudly when he's not happy. He's very alert and even lifts his head a little.

Rachel texted late last evening and said he had nursed finally and then fallen asleep. I trust he will be glad to see his grandma and grandpa and brothers this morning when we go up. It's so nice they let siblings go in. That didn't used to be allowed.

I will post pictures when possible. Suffice it to say he is beautiful, smart, healthy and funny. I like him tremendously and he likes me too. He told me so...

Thanks for your prayers and good wishes. I know they helped. I'll be kind of busy taking care of the twins til their momma comes home--probably Tues. (I hope.) Grandpa is going back to AZ today and I will miss him. Until then I have laundry, etc., etc, etc. Love to all.
