Welcome Max Andrew!

Max Andrew Douglas
Born - 9/17/2010 @ 3:08am
8 pounds, 1 ounce - 20.5 inches

I was hoping for a VBAC delivery and even went into labor and had my water break on its own. However, very shortly after things really started to heat up, some complications developed and it became apparent that a c-section was the only option and it needed to happen quickly. So, at 3:08am we heard Max make his very first squeaky cry. Luckily, he was in absolute perfect health. I had a few issues with bleeding, fever and general nausea and yuckiness, but we all made it home healthy and happy (and still recovering) today.

Max had to be checked out by the NICU team right after birth, but was absolutely perfect and had an APGAR score of 9 five minutes after birth!

Our big boy!

Happy Mommy cuddling with her little guy!

What a handsome little dude :-)
