Not exactly on a red carpet, but latex and gauze served even better. Baby J made her appearance without incident this morning, Monday, September 24 at 8:12, via cesarean section. Baby J seemed to be quite put-out at the impudence of the two doctors who rudely extricated her from her warm, though wet, hiding place.<br /><br />She seems to have recuperated from the surprising event and is doing well. At 8 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 inches long she is a beautiful brown-haired, squinched-up baby. She came with a complete set of all the regular accoutrements: 10 fingers, 10 toes, two ears, etc. She has thick little thighs, a barrel chest, and broad shoulders. She looks the picture of health. She has a very cute cry and loves to cuddle with her mom.<br /><br />She had a bewildering few moments when we tried to get her to nurse the first time, but she caught on quickly, and, at the second go, she did a superstar job--her parents are so proud.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of Baby J.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/Rvf_gJF56DI/AAAAAAAAABs/CzQ9kEkQ89M/s1600-h/A+screamer_20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/Rvf_gJF56DI/AAAAAAAAABs/CzQ9kEkQ89M/s400/A+screamer_20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113836829564069938" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvgAfZF56FI/AAAAAAAAAB8/uqs_NLPcnnk/s1600-h/How+Cute_20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvgAfZF56FI/AAAAAAAAAB8/uqs_NLPcnnk/s400/How+Cute_20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113837916190795858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/Rvf_y5F56EI/AAAAAAAAAB0/XHp16pzlun4/s1600-h/Mom+and+baby_20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/Rvf_y5F56EI/AAAAAAAAAB0/XHp16pzlun4/s400/Mom+and+baby_20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113837151686617154" border="0" /></a>Mom and Baby are doing well, both resting.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5605173953298558280-2656160049276847266?l=daveandrebekah.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>David and Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04655470856126814225noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605173953298558280.post-48282168413848869132007-09-22T08:39:00.000-07:002007-09-22T10:34:44.127-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvVH3ZF559I/AAAAAAAAAA8/G38kwI_0tbs/s1600-h/9+months+and+waiting+20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvVH3ZF559I/AAAAAAAAAA8/G38kwI_0tbs/s320/9+months+and+waiting+20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113071968903096274" border="0" /></a>Once upon a time there was a beautiful queen and handsome king who lived in a magical land with their children: a prodigious prince, and precocious princess.<br /><br />The queen and king were about to augment the royal family with the addition of another <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvVIdZF55-I/AAAAAAAAABE/oV-sO0bEAOo/s1600-h/Decorations+20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_UImZy3BRKEo/RvVIdZF55-I/AAAAAAAAABE/oV-sO0bEAOo/s320/Decorations+20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113072621738125282" border="0" /></a>princess, but the princess refused to<br />come.
