[TAG UR IT]

At 10:51am this morning, my wife and I welcomed our second child into this world.

We have been going to the doc's office every week over the past month. Dean, our newborn, was waaaaay larger than he should have been for how far along we were in the pregnancy. Then again, we kind of push out big babies!

Our first, Dylan, was born at 9lbs and 15oz's. Yup, he was huge!

So, after finding out the birth weight of our first, and finding that #2 was larger than normal, my wife went to a specialist. The specialist said we had two weeks to go and guestimated his weight to be 9.7lbs. We didn't want complications and decided to induce early. It just so happens that this time was right in line w/ Deans grandfathers birthday (today). We decided that today would be the perfect day...grandpa and baby born on the same date.

The labor was extremely fast. Epidural and she went from 3cm to 9cm in, oh, about an hour. Dean pushed himself out w/ little help. He was born so fast that he didn't get the chance to get all the fluid pushed out of his lungs. He had to go to the ICU for a while, but is doing fine. He was on air for an hour, but they took him off. They are watching him overnight, but should be fine.

His birth weight was 9lbs and 10oz. They measured him in at 20 3/4 inches (I'm going to measure him later...I think he's longer:p ). But, I've got to run and get back to the hospital. Dropped in for some stuff and to say hello!

I'll post up some pix as soon as I get the chance!
