Hello Elijah

Our second son was born Tuesday at 10:49am. After all the possible concerns, our prayers were graciously answered with a healthy baby boy! What an exciting and amazing experience it was to go "au natural". Unfortunately, I was wrong THIS time about doctors always overestimating baby weights. After measuring me, my doctor said this one would be 6, maybe 7 pounds at most. Elijah weighed in at 7 lbs, 11oz! Yikes. Had I known this, I might not have been so eager to go without epidural. But in all seriousness, I couldn't ask for a happier ending... a healthy-sized, healthy-looking, healthy healthy boy.

Congratulations!!!  You look pretty good for having just given birth, let alone having gone "au natural"!!!  and Kwang definately looks like the proud papa.  Jude, on the other hand, looks like "what do I do with this kid??????????"
