Title: Baby Boy is Finally Here!!!!
Post by: hootyhu1 on May 06, 2012, 12:32:33 PM
Hello All!

On April 29th I gave birth to a happy and healthy 7pound8oz son.  We had no complications and we are at home resting! So far I dont seem to have a major flair up or anything, they gave me a stress dose of steroids for 24 hours at delivery.  He did have a mind of his own and decided to make his appearance a week before his planned c-section.

While on maternity leave I will be popping on here when I can. I hope everyone is getting excited about spring/summer weather :)

Take Care-Hootyhu

Congratulations!!!   ;D  ;D  ;D

A nice, healthy size baby boy.

I hope you take advantage of "nap time" for yourself when the baby sleeps so you can keep up with the constant "on demand" that a newborn requires.

May your new little bundle of joy bring much happiness to your family!   ;D  Congratulations to all of you.

Congatulations on your baby son. Little boys born under the sign of Taurus are very loving. God bless your baby son.

Congrats on the new baby and on both of you being in good shape. Your doc was pretty smart to give you that 24 hour dose of steroids to help you through that stress. I wish I had that done years ago when I had my babies. I wasn't diagnosed yet and it took me a long time to recover after delivery.

HOpe everything continues to go well. Enjoy your maternity leave. It is such a great time to have with a new baby. Irish ;D

Congratulations Hootyhu!  Glad you're both healthy.  I'm so jealous ;D.  I wanted a boy so bad, but God thought I needed 3 girls... :P. 

I love the first few months of new babies best.  I get so 'high on love' that they're 9 months old before I realize I need to get some sleep, haha!  I could just stare at my babies for days on end.  It's amazing how you can spend hours looking at that little face.  It's so exciting when they just open their eyes and look at you ;D.  Never want to put them down, and scoff at those that tell me I'll spoil them by holding them too much.  I used to say, "Too bad, because I CAN'T put her down!" 

Enjoy your new baby!!!  Sending you squeezy hugs and squeals of excitement!

Mark is a wonderful name!  I see how you got out of naming him JR. :)  I hope you're still doing well, and the little guy is growing well.

We have a new granddaughter, born May 8th. Our daughter and SIL's first child. Her name is Savannah and she's a little redhead, and of course, just as cute as she can be!

Take care and hug those babies. :)
