I'm still writing up the whole story, but as the drama continues to unfold, I figured I'd at least get the basics up for you.
Seth James made his debut via C-section, Friday, December 14, at 6:06 pm. He was a whopping 5 lbs, 3 oz., and stretched out to 19 inches.
He is a delight -- I can't even begin to list his virtues. The best yet is that he seems to have Jim's laid back personality. He doesn't fuss, doesn't cry. Falls asleep easily. ;) We're already so, so in love.
Recovery has been hard, and it has taken some unexpected turns that have lengthened my hospital stay. Oh well. We're still confident that all three of us will be home from the hospital and celebrating in style by Christmas.
Thank you all for your continued love and support. Again, more details will follow, but for now, I have to sleep....cant.....keep.....eyes.....open.......

oh my goodness monica, he's SOOOOOO cute! i can't believe HOW alert he is, wide open eyes and everything! i'm so glad this is all over for you and you can just begin enjoying little seth. :) babies are always good in the hospital, it's when you get home that they start crying. lol i'm sure he'll do great though! :) i'm so glad you'll be home in time for Christmas. praying for you all. can't wait to read the next detailed update, i love them! :) CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto what Mandie said. I'm so glad he's thriving. I know it's a PITA, but a couple extra days with 24 hour nursery is a good thing--especially when you're trying to recover from a c-section and a difficult pregnancy.
I know you're going to get LOTS of help when you get home, but having the docs nearby is a good thing too.
Congrats!
