Our New Baby!!!!
Birth story to come soon... STAY TUNED!!

David Alexander
born 12/28/06
11lbs 14oz
21.25" long

Since he was so big, he is being monitored for his blood sugar levels.  He's doing well though and we hope to have him home in a couple/few days!  Also, his right clavicle was broken but babies are so resiliant that he'll heal up VERY quickly, for sure.

I feel like I've been hit by a truck but that's par for the course when you deliver an almost 12lb baby, naturally without any drugs!

Congratulations! A whopping baby boy! I love the name, a good strong name for a good, strong boy! You poor dear, you worked hard!! I'm so excited, as you can see by my overuse of exclamation points. I'm so happy for you and your family. I sure hope he's able to come home very soon. I'll keep him in prayer and for you as you recover (geesh, 12 lbs!!) I'll bet you are so glad to finally see him - 9 months seemed like a lifetime to me with each of my kids. I'm so happy for you, I'm giddy! What a great way to start the new year! Take care, get some rest and kiss that sweet baby for me! God bless you and your family.

Hi, We've never met yet but our friend callmekate mentioned on her blog that you'd just had a big baby boy at the end of December so I thought I'd pop across to wish you all a hearty congratulations. Two of my children, (the boys) were 10lb 13oz and 10 lb 14oz but your little fellow takes the cake! Wow, you must have really been feeling his weight over Christmas. Well done!
I hope you all enjoy little David immensely. Big babies are really cuddly and soft.
Blessings,
Paula from Australia

I'm so happy David Alexander didn't keep you waiting! And let me just say, OUCH!!! I always did without medication as well, but my largest was only 7lbs.14oz. You are amazing and David is beautiful!
Peace and sleep,
Cristina
