Welcome to the World, Baby Boy!


Well, only our son would have to come into the world and make such a grand entrance! After 23 1/2 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing, Benjamin still didn't want to come out of the birth canal.Turns out...he was face-up and sideways! Needless to say, a c-section at this point was our only option. Little man was born with quite a pair of lungs and mommy and daddy could only stare and cry (mommy was quite emotional) when holding him up to us in the operating room. A wave of immense joy and relief flooded over us, and we realized that this bundle was ours to care for and love for all time...what a grand and
wonderful responsibility!
