Birth Announcement... Braden Eli

[KargoMaster]

Just wanted to share some pics and information...



Braden Eli was born on 9/9/2007 at 3:28pm.

6 lbs. 15 oz. 20" long...



We tried for a "regular" birth, but ended up C-Section for the second time. (previous scar tissue didn't really help matters)
Braden and I didn't come out of the operating room for 2 hours after he was born (not because of Braden, he got a clean bill of health just seconds outside the womb, but instead) because Momma had some complications that left her in the O.R. for about 7 hours...

Needless to say... it's been an unexpected and educational few days...

Oh, and let the record show that I attended the Monthly Meeting...

On to the fun stuff...

In the O.R., I had to at least respect their tools...



Not a bad pic if I do say so myself... I took it.







You forget how small they are just hours old...







This one makes me yawn everytime I see it...



Poor kid was "blessed" with my nose...



Momma starting to feel better... only took 4 days or so... able to grab my computer for the Internet to get "connected" to the rest of the world...
