The
weekend was rather intense. On Friday night, my son and daughter-in-law went to the hospital to
start her induction for their second child. We knew it was a boy, brother to
Cameron.
The
doctor decided to induce at what was officially a week before what was the due
date. Two weeks back or so, the doctor had determined that the baby was likely
to be big. Cameron had been a big baby – 10 pounds, 3 ounces. This one promised
to be big, too.
I
got to the hospital early Saturday morning. Things were progressing fast. My
wife arrived about an hour after I did.
At 10:25 a.m., he was born. Our Cinco de Mayo grandson.
It
turns out that he was bigger than his older brother – 10 pounds, 9 ounces. Twenty-one-and-a-half
inches long.
Everything
went fine. Mom and son are doing fine. Dad is doing fine.
Our
family has grown by one.
Welcome,
Caden Thomas Young.
You
are already well loved.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world, Caden. You're blessed in your family, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe had big grandsons, too. Each of our daughter's eldest sons was close to 10 #, one over and one just under. Then they got smaller the further along we went. But all 8, even the girls, were over 8. Big babies are great - you start out with a 1 month old!
Enjoy, enjoy. Nothing quite like it.
Glynn, so very precious. Thank goodness all turned out well. things can be iffy with babies that size.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone.
what a beautiful blessing.
