Baby Charlie is finally here! He was 7 lbs 9 0z and 20 inches long, born at approximately 11:45-ish a.m. on 4/23/09. It was an eventful day, starting from the minute we got to the hospital. We tried to use the elevators & they didn't work... Jana wanted to use the stairs, so we got up to the 2nd floor, and the door was locked! A nurse came out but let the door shut behind her and couldn't get back in. Turns out there was a Code Pink! Code Pink is when someone tries to steal a baby!!! Turns out, the babies have a wristband that shuts down the elevators & locks the doors if they get too close. A nurse passed too close to the elevators with a baby and locked down the floor
.As you can see, Jana & Charlie are both doing well. Charlie has a very little cleft lip, but he's freakin' awesome. He has all his arms, legs, fingers, toes, eyes, nose, & boy parts; everything is exactly where it should be.
There'll be more pics to come over the next little while, but Jana & Charlie are doing great!!
I am so thrilled for you guys. What a cute kiddo.

ReplyDeleteCongrats! He is cute. Glad that all went well.
ReplyDeleteCharlie is so cute! And I love his name. What an exciting time for your family. And did you know Jimmy was also born with a cleft? We didn't know about it before he was born so it was a bit of a shock in the delivery room. Anyway, I hope things are going well and that you are enjoying the new little guy. Congrats!
