It is official. We have a cute baby. Baby Nathan Douglas Totten was born on September 14, 2009 at 9:31am at UMC via c-section. He weighed 8 lbs 12 oz and measured out at 19.5 inches long. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, so the c-section was a good thing. He is doing well, as is mommy.
I have been working for the past 2 days, 10 hours per day. This will allow me to take the rest of the week off, while LeAnn is home and work half days all next week.
LeAnn will be off of work until December 7th. This is to allow her to heal and to spend lots of time with the baby.
Both Nathan and LeAnn are supposed to come home tomorrow. She may stay an extra day (allowed) because of Nathan not keeping his weight up (as of 9pm tonight, he has lost 9.7% of his body weight). He is eating and breastfeeding, taking his first bottle tonight and eating 3/4 of an ounce of formula.
Grandparents both want to keep the baby. They have been told NO! They are more than welcome to visit and to babysit, but will not get to keep the baby. LeAnn and I both love him too much.
Please continue to pray for Katie, as she needs a job. Also pray for LeAnn and Nathan, as they both come home from the hospital for some home time. Also pray for all of the birthdays that happen between Sept 13 and 20th (I think 3-4 now with Nathan)
We all love you....
David
