It's a BOY!!

January 18, 2009

Holding my baby boy for the second time.

As soon as Gabriel was born I was able to hold him just briefly and then they had to rush him off because he needed some immediate attention-oxygen & suctioning of mucus. His apgar score was a 2 but the second score was an 8. He's a tough cookies!

It's a BOY!!

Chester watching our midwife, Leigh Ann and our nurse, Virginia suction out Gabriel's lungs, take his vitals, and give him some extra TLC.

Nurse Virginia working on suctioning and trying to get him to cry.

His first initial cries were so sad-he sounded like a sad little kitten with a scratchy voice:(
