Well, you all have been wondering about him well here he is! Let me present to you our son, Christopher Madison Coote, making his debut! Ok, technically he's 36 hours old. He was born on June 7, 2009 @ 2:25 am weighing 6 lbs and 7oz. His length they tell me is 45 cm (you do the conversion). He wasn't breathing when he was born so they had to rush him to NICU over @ Maimomides. These pictures were taken today, Monday June 8, 2009. He breastfed twice (right away which was good) and spent the whole day out of his little NICU hutch breathing just good old room oxygen. This is good since his erratic breathing is what landed him in NICU in the first place. We're going to take advantage of the one day we have left to get a decent night's sleep before he interrupts our lives. As for the events leading up to the birth, I'll leave his father to blog that since I was rather delirious with pain. Yes, I did do natural birth without getting an epidural. I'm sore as hell and hurting. I've been stitched up from a 2nd degree tear but I didn't get the episiotmy. Other than that, I'm recovering. He's quite a little fella and even at only a day old, I'm happy to report has quite a personality.

He is gorgeous Shaz. Looks so alert like he knows what's going on! To God be the glory. Can't decide who he takes after but I see both mom and dad in his face :) He had to ensure that so no one gets the upper hand LOL.
