James Gary Felt

Well, he's here!

Keriann started having contractions pretty hard and fast Friday evening. We went into the hospital, where they determined she still hadn't dilated enough, so we took an hours walk, and the doctor checked again, still not dilated enough. We then remembered that they were supposed to check his position with ultrasound to see if he had indeed turned over...

He was breach! He either never turned, or was turning back (we think the latter is the case). Soon we were in the middle of a flurry of activity (because of her active labor, it was decided to do a C-section and get him out).

James was born at 12:14 a.m. Nov. 29th, was 7 lbs. 9 oz., 20.5 inches long, and 4 weeks early. Mom is doing great, and the little guy gets to spend his first night in the NICU for observation until he can get everything out of his lungs (nothing the screaming at his first bath can't cure), and then he'll be free to move in with the other kids in the nursery.

Happy birthday little man. Welcome to the world.

Oh this little man is a keeper!!! Congratulations and having such a healthy and happy baby boy (he truly looks happy so far)!! Keriann- way to go- there isn't anything better than not being pregnant anymore, eh? I hope that you recover quickly and are feeling like a million bucks before you know it.

Thanks for making the world a better place just by being born little baby boy! Wish we could see you in person!
