Default Its A Boy!
So!

Here is my new update!

2011 is going to be a GREAT year.

My son was born on 1/11/11 at 6:37pm and is 7lbs 15oz at 20inches long. He came out kicking and screaming. I cried like a little baby along with him (still am crying off and on!). Greatest day of my life.

THank you!

They are both healthy and i am heading to the hospital to pick them up now!

he isnt even 2days old yet.

All of his test came back clean and healthy. He is drinking almost 2oz of formula (which is good for a new born). All of his internals are working as needed. I have doctors appointments scheduled all week.

Next week its about the business again. Coupon BLITZ!

Matt, I'm so happy for you! One of the greatest gifts in the world. Glad he came out healthy. What did you name your boy? Did you name him MAKLawnCare?

Hope you get some sleep!
