Congratulations Carole, I hope Charlene has a pain free delivery.

thank you caseysmom, he was born at 9.19 am 6th July, he is in neo natal though, as he had fluid on his lungs, so has lots of tubes ,some down his throat and some in his nose etc, poor we fella, apparently quite normal for a C Section birth, so hopefully he will be off the machine tomorrow if all goes well.

They don't really want pics online, so i have to respect that, darn it all, he is very cute, has dark curly hair, and weighed in at 3.8kgs, not a big lad ,but nice size, he does look well covered though.

They had trouble with the lure for the epidural for my niece and her blood pressure was very low, and she felt sick during the whole procedure, still feeling a bit sick and dizzy, and was not able to see Brody for some time, due to that fact.

They also found out she has a rare blood type and they want her donate blood from now on.

Anyhow it has been quite a day for them all, a very exciting one.

WELCOME to our world little handsome Brody.

Oh, Sis! Congratulations and a VERY long HUG from Pittsburgh to you and handsome Brody. Prayers and thoughts go out to Brody and his mom that he's out of that neo-natal unit quickly and his mom is feeling well enough to take care of him.

Blessings blessings blessings on your nephew and all his family. I am sure he will be home soon and in his parents arms.

Congrats Carole and family. Little Brody Nicholas sounds adorable. I hope he'll be out of the neo natal unit soon and that his mother starts feeling better soon. I'll keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
