Announcing Robert Nicholas, born Wednesday, May 27th, at 8:10pm.
10 pounds even
21.5" long
Head circumference: 14"
Chest circumference: 14.5" (You know how they say that the head is the biggest part? Apparently, not always the case... Let me describe that bit sometime.)
Tons of blond hair
Covered in chubby, delicious fat rolls
Cutest baby in the nursery... by far
I'll write a birth story soon, but here's the quickie version: it was an all-natural, drug-free vaginal delivery. Nobody was expecting Robert to be so big, least of all me... He surprised all of us! His shoulders got stuck briefly, but were freed up fast and it didn't cause him any damage. (I, on the other hand, am simply shredded, but that's for the long version. ) Robert's still at the hospital due to some breathing issues that are apparently common in big babies, but is doing great and is due to be released tomorrow morning. Breastfeeding going OK so far, although it's hard to tell at 48 hours; we're on the way back to the hospital now for another feeding.
