yes...he's here

this is after his first bath and hair combing----nurse loved that she could part it!

a bit like elvis? he hadnt really opened his eyes at this point....but this was his position in utero

looks a bit like Cary Grant dont you think? debonair & suave



oh yeah---didnt like being prodded at all----calmed down pretty quickly, but has a very healthy cry.

This morning Benjamin Aaron Hall was born. Jasmine's body was not co-operating....he was ready to come and just growing everyday....so the dr decided that 3/3/09 would be his birthday. He was born by c-section at 7:56 a.m., weighing in at 8 lbs 14 oz and 20 1/2 inches.....HUGE...at least compared to what we anticipated. He spent his first day being adored by grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. Jasmine did really well...other than being traumatized by the i.v. being put in.....she is sore tonight...will be in the hospital til thursday probably. These pictures are from my facebook----more will be coming!
