Joaquin Elijah


He's here! Joaquin Elijah 5/16/10 7:35 am 8lbs 9oz 21.75 inches
Name meaning: God will establish

Beautiful baby boy announced he would be coming soon, Saturday evening, when my water broke while I was giving the girls a bath. Though I didn't know it, I thought maybe I had lost control of my bladder (3rd kid ya know). We had a few complications, I was leaking meconium (baby pooped in utero) I have to admit it was gross and I was very concerned for baby. But thankfully to good nurses and respiratory team his lungs are clear and he is healthy.
God bless nurses, it truly is a calling.

Congratulations! He is just perfect. A happy addition to your beautiful family. I hope everything goes smoothly for you as you welcome the little guy into your home. You are in our prayers! He is sooooo adorable!

(and yes, nurses are the best. I was so grateful for mine, even though I didn't have any complications, they really made me feel reassured that they were capable of handling any situation)

He is beautiful! Of course! He looks more masculine than the girls did when they were born. I think boys and girls look subtly different.
