Chance Hedger arrives!














It only took a couple of hours, and one passed out papa in the O.R., but Chance Curtis Hedger has officially joined our happy family. He was born at 9:11 a.m. Central, weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz., measured 20 inches long and has strawberry blonde hair -- which goes great with his Spartan green MSU hat.
Here are some pics from here at the hospital. I tried getting these up on Facebook, but alas it wouldn't let me post them. The O.R. nurses were kind enough to take a few shots of him in the O.R. for me, and didn't take any shots of me, laid out on the floor after the big passing out incident. Also, you will notice that it is rare to catch my son with his eyes open. He likes to sleep I think. He gets it from both of us.

Lisa is doing well in her recovery. Much more relaxed process than with Liz, but this one also wasn't an emergency C. Happy birthday, son. You're zero and counting, buddy.

Congratulations!! Chance is so adorable! I bet big sister Liz is just thrilled! I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well (my husband worries about passing out in the OR, so you'll have to give us the story sometime)! Hopefully, Chance will continue to enjoy his sleep!

Lisa. COngrats. You guys look really happy. And as for the passing out, Shalin felt really light-headed after seeing the big needle for epidural going in me. He hadn't eaten anything either and that thing really had an effect on him, I guess. We are doing well too - Ishaan will be 7 months next week and in another couple of weeks we are off to Hawaii - his first plane ride.
