Wow - what a ride

[crosslet]

Although announced by others, I’d like to officially announce the birth of our son, Julian Alexander Hwang Venable (no hyphen).  He arrived in the world June 8, 2005 at 9:09pm at Brigham and Women’s Hospital by cesarean section after an extended labor.

Most people know we planned to have our baby at home with minimal intervention.  Obviously, you

Congratulations, mzkero and crosslet! That's a beautiful kid. Job well done!

And yeah, it sounds like a rough ride getting there. My brother and sister-in-law went through something very similar, right down to the low blood sugar and jaundice and having to have junior in the hospital a few extra days. And in ten days from now he'll be sixth months old. :)

VERY happy for both of you!

phew!

Wow. Wow.

You guys are amazing. What a story! I'm so sorry the birth didn't turn out as you'd hoped. I do so understand the disappointment of that experience (I had a c-section too, though my decision process was significantly more lengthy and less pressured) but I'm so glad that everyone is healthy.

Welcome to parenthood!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you both.

Once I heard "10 lbs.", I was fairly certain it was going to be a C-section.

All good, Dad. Congrats. Now the rest of your life begins.

Did you register his name and device yet? (smile)
