[blparent] Birth announcement

[jan wright]

Hi all,
I can't spend too much time here.
Just wanted to update.

On the 27th of November (shortly after Thanksgiving),
my water broke within the first hour of the 27th.
at 9:21 that day, I deliver a 6lb5oz baby boy who was 20inches long
and had a slight conehead, but no forecepts or sucction or anything.
We named him
Azaan Gabriel. Jaws does not pronounce his first name correctly.
It is pronounced "Azon" and rhymes with "coupon."
He had jondice, but finally, it has gone.
He lost weight, but yesterday, he was back up to his birth weight.
My milk is not coming in, I am working with lactation consultants, but
might have to try the Regglan.
  I have to supplement (hate the smell and changes of formula) but am
only getting small amounts of milk and his appetite is increasing.
 We feel so blessed.
Imran, my dh, is learning to hold and feed and dress. Azaan likes to
be bundle up  and swaddled. He has the hickups frequently and we are
so excited to have him before Christmas.
I wanted him to wait until December, but God had other plans and it
worked out beautifully because all of my older children were able to
come visit me and Azaan before they left for their respective homes:
one is in the military in California and the other goes to college in
Illinois.
Two are here in  the city.
Well, this is long.
Please email me off list if you want me to respond because I can't
check this email often.

I can't wait for the joys of motherhood. this is one of them.
