Hello! I’m in the hospital but wanted to post a quick note to introduce you to Baby J.
He was born today at 11:38am weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces! I got to see him for only a moment before being whisked away so they could start my hernia repair surgery. Turns out I had three large hernias! No wonder I have been in such pain.
Anyhow, baby is doing amazing, his mommy is even nursing (She induced lactation, I’ll explain later when I’m not posting with my phone). I hope you enjoy these few pics I was able to get with my phone.
OH MY GOSH RHEA!!!! He’s beautiful..your beautiful..the whole thing is just beautiful! Congrats to you and the family!!
Rhea, you are amazing! So glad you and baby and mommy are doing well!! Get some rest!!
