Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of! Along with a little sugar and spice and everything nice! After 24 hours of labor, my sister delivered a 9-1/2 pound baby boy by C-section either just before or just after midnight last night! My mom called me at around 1:30 and she wasn't sure, either, whether he was born on Saturday or Sunday. And we don't know his name yet!
Yippee!! My brother-in-law was right when he said that the babies in his family are big! There was plenty of newborn stuff that my sister received as gifts that she's left unopened. I'll share more when I know more!
Congratulations on the newest member of your family!!! Best wishes and good health to all!

Blessings and congrats, Aunt Vicki! I know this baby will be well endowed with beautiful knitted items...lucky, lucky boy!
Wish your sister a quick recovery. With my 1st c/sec I was out of the hospital in 3 days...with Nick, 2.5. Looking back, I wish the insurance company had allowed more...a week, at least!
Blessings,
Susie

Congratulations!
My ds was 9lb 15oz. He fit in NO newborn stuff. I wish I hadn't opened everything to pre-wash it. LOL
