OT: Say hello to Alex!

Post by Cygnusia » Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:01 am

I've been kinda missing in action here on the boards lately... here's why:

And with him comes non-compliance to CPAP mostly every night.

Congratulations! He's absolutely adorable. I have an Alex myself so there is a soft spot in my heart for them!

As for non-compliance, you'll get that worked out. You have a precious reason now to keep yourself as healthy as possible.

Good luck to all of you!

Congrats, Cygnusia!

When did Alex arrive? Glad everything apparently went well there, and I hope your therapy doesn't suffer too much for too long. (Can't think of a more valid reason for poor sleep, though. )

Thanks for the update, and welcome back.

Alex came into the world on December 30th. Between me working 10 hour shifts and my wife readjusting to a non-pregnant life, we've been pretty busy! Plus, we had to get an emergency C-Section done... poor lil guy had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck... twice!

Alex sounds like a hosehead right outta the gate!

J/k, of course. I'm glad everything turned out well.

AWWWWWWWW! What a beautiful or should I say handsome boy! Congrat's to you both! What a precious gift! Now, if you need a seamstress to sew back on all of the buttons you've no doubtably popped off, I'll be glad to get out the old needle and thread.

Congratulations on the beautiful baby boy!

But put that mask back on!! Just disconnect the hose when you get up! Baby will love you no matter if you look like its elephant toy!
