At 10:06, Erickson James was born via c-section. Dr. Wenzel delivered him and Dr. Pentico was there to take care of him right away. He weighed almost exactly one pound less than his big sister and was 21 inches, 1 inch shorter than Sylvia.
Dr. Wenzel commented on how much hair he had and said he had big shoulders as she delivered him. She later told me that she thought he looked like a boy but didn't say anything until she knew he was. He didn't cry much at all in the delivery room.
After Dr. Pentico checked him out more thouroughly, Dan brought him up for me to see.
Dan took him back to our labor room and I joined them shortly after and got to nurse him. About an hour later, Erickson headed to the nursery for a bath, etc. and we called our family to announce his arrival.
Not too much later and we were all moved to our postpartum room. Daddy enjoyed some snuggles from our alert little boy.
There is nothing better than holding a brand new baby in your arms.

Sylvia spent the morning with my parents and went to swimming lessons. She got to eat lunch with all four grandparents. Dan's parents stayed with her during her nap and then brought her up to meet Erickson. My parents also came up. Although Sylvia did not like the hospital room and all the equiptment mommy was hooked up to, she immediately wanted to see Erickson and hold him.
She is a proud big sister.
Grandpa, Grandma, Nana and Papa also like him a lot.
