He's here!

Grandchild #4 arrived on August 3, 2007. His mommy went into the hospital on Aug. 2 because of high blood pressure. They induced labor, but the baby was showing distress on each contraction, so they stopped the labor and took him by C-section the next day. Mommy and baby are doing fine! They are home with Daddy, recovering. Daddy will be home all week with them.

He is a very pretty baby and seems to be a good baby. On day two, he developed reflux (drinking too quickly, we suspect), and that caused some distress over the night. But during the day, he was quiet and slept. Hopefully, he'll settle down to a routine soon.

He was 7 lb.s, 14 oz., 21 1/4 inches long. He looks like he has blue eyes and dark blond hair. His feet are long and super skinny! Even Great Grandma remarked on that!

Granddaughter and Grandson #1 have not seen him yet. Grandson #2 was snuck up by his aunt and uncle.

Happy birthday, baby!
