Hi, everyone!
Here's a quick update on the "Fraggle" family: baby Kyle Owen arrived on Monday, January 12th at 5:50am, via emergency c-section. Turns out he was breech even though the docs had been telling me all along that he was head-down. We just got home last night and are well but exhausted. Here are a few pics, just so I can brag a little.  I like how in the second pic he looks like a little pancho-wearing bandido.

A-a-a-a-w-w-w-w.... Red! He is just absolutely beautiful! What an adorable baby he is!! I always find it amazing how un-squooshed they look when born via C-section. I am glad that everything went well for you. Wonder if he decided to go topsy-turvy at the last minute, or something?
Congratulations! Rest, heal, and enjoy your new little one.
P.S. Couldn't you find a bigger hat? |

Congrats Red! He is TOOOOO precious!
Having worked in High Risk OB for over 20 years - I can let you know that it is not an uncommon story for a baby to flip just before Labor. We don't even make notice of baby's presentation before 37 weeks. If there is plenty of amniotic fluid - there is plenty of room to turn...the little buggers!
Great pics!

Thanks for the congrats, everybody! The green hat was made by a friend, and I love the way it's too big for Kyle's little head right now. Oh, about his weight: he was a HUGE 8lbs. 4oz., but he did stay "in the oven" for 41 weeks. I guess he had some extra growing time.  Right now I'm trying to figure out how I'm ever supposed to sleep again. Even with help from my husband, mom, and sister, I'm averaging only 2-4 hours a day. |

Sleep? What's that?
Grab it while you can. It's hard if you're breastfeeding because you can't pass the responsibility to dad at night, unless you pump. But, there is hope ahead. My daughter started sleeping 7 hours straight when she was only 5 weeks old. So, sleep while he does, doze while he's feeding, and hold on for dear life. You're in my prayers.
I can't believe you even find time to get online! |

8lb 4oz. is a nice size baby! And it's really not huge these days, with 9 pounders being born all the time. Both of my kids weighed in at 8lb 12oz, and interestingly, so did my grandson! Too funny.
Winglo is right. Sleep when he does, and as often as you can. And above all, relax and enjoy this new time together, because all too soon, it will be gone. They are tiny like this for such a short time.
You will have lots of time to sleep and nap later. Don't worry about the house. Let your family members do that for you. You take care of you and little Kyle. Enjoy every minute of this... even the exhausted ones! |

How precious! Enjoy all the moments you can because those are slipping away even as we speak. I made a hat much like the one he's wearing for my granddaughter and it was a bit big at first. She's now almost 5 months old and she also "flipped" right at 9cm and had to have an emergency c-section.
God bless all of you. |

Congrats Amanda 
Speaking of huge all four of mine were huge with the heaviest being 9lbs 9ozs  and the others not too far behind. They all came out the regular way too with big old pushes.
Your little bandido is just adorable and I love the name Kyle |

| Ouch, IG, those had to be pretty difficult labors. And I thought 7lb, 4oz was hard. |

I can't believe how big your babies were IG! Wow! I lucked out with two 6lb 13oz and one 7lb 5oz!
Congrats on the wee one, Red! He is adorable! Many blessings! It goes by so quickly! Rest easy and take up people on any offers to help. |

Just wanted to share a few updated pics of the wee one, since he's the reason I'm not around the site much anymore! (I can hear him waking up even as I type this. Doh!) He's a whole eight weeks old now, and I'm still shocked at how the time flies by. Here he is:

| I've been wondering how you and the baby were. I haven't been around much lately (got laid off and the job hunt is hot and heavy), but it's good to see him looking so happy! Is he sleeping thru the night yet? |
