Just wanted you all to know Autumnchik and I are now proud parents of a baby boy. Declan James W was born Thrusday night at 7:17 he wieghs 6lb 14.3 oz and is 20"inchs long. Him and mom are doing great though they may have to stay in the hospital another night he still has not got the whole nursing thing down yet. He figures the breast is something to sleep with not suck on. Does not matter how awake and alert he is as soon as his face touches her chest he is asleep.

Oh that is so exciting and such happy happy news!! Congratulations to all of you. What a lovely name you have given him

Trying to figureout how to post photo

Congrats!! I'm not sure if Declan was born in Canada or the US, but he was born in Canada make sure you apply for the Child Tax Benefit. It's a nice monthly stipend that really helps out as you go thru the immigration process away from your loved one!

Congrats!! I found our OB clinicals fascinating this past semester, was a great experience, even for a guy,lol Congrats

Congrats on the birth of your new addition.

He's a "keeper"!!!!

Best wishes to you both.

Congrats!! He's very cute and I love the name!

Declan is awfully awfully cute! Congratulations!!!!!!

Wonderful news! He is so cute!

Any time mom and baby are both healthy is an occasion for celebration. Thursday's child is loving and giving, so Bail ó Dhia ar an obair! I'm sure little Declan will figure out how to feed, no need for concern dad at this point in time, just wait until he start asking for the keys to the car. Enjoy your little blessing and always give thanks to the person who did most of the work, Mom. Now about finishing the nursery...

Awwwwww what a sweetheart!! Congratulations to the new parents! Thanks so much for letting us know if his arrival and sharing the picture!!

Thanks everyone Update Declan came home on Sunday night looking a little yellowish. In the morning he colour was even more yellow so we took him back to see his doctor, who has his office in the hospital. After seeing Declan and running some tests, we were told that Declan was jaundice so he would have to go under the lights for some colour. They have mom a room close by so she could feed him every 3 hours.
We are both stressed but holding up as well as we can. I would write more but I have to go back to the hospital to be with them both to help feed.

Hang in there! You are probably both oh so tired, but this is all normal and soon you will all be home and on some sort of sleeping schedule

Hi to the lovely lovely folks in the Canuck forum! Thank you for your well wishes. We came home from the hospital today and are trying to adjust to being in our house rather than the hospital.

And Mumsie .... the nursery is STILL not done. GRRRR!!!! Hubby has to actually finish OUR bedroom first. He was working on it the night my water broke. Hubby had planned on finishing the room by Friday the 9th and surprising me by moving furniture into it. However, baby boy Declan changed those plans!

Why am I not surprised, as long as he finishes it before Declan learns to drive.

So glad to hear from you.....MOM.

Awww! What a cutie! Congratulations to all three of you (including Declan, of course!).
