My son weighed 8 lbs even and measured 21 inches. His mom thought she was having Braxton-Hicks contractions when I picked her up at work at 3 pm. We got to the birthing center at 5:30 pm and our boy was born at about 7 pm (I'm still not sure about the time). He had his umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck, and his mom was going through labor incredibly fast, so she had to push him out as fast as possible. It took her all of four (maybe five) excruciatingly hard pushes. That was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, and it all seemed like a dream for hours afterwards. We went home at 2 am.

A million, three hundred and twenty-seven thousand, eight hundred and seventy-nine congratulations to all three of you. Wonderful, wonderful news. G'bless.
In my heart, he'll always be Li'l Jandek.
Woohoo!
Wow - everyone looks good! What a cutie.
Wait - did you say like labor and delivery in 2 hours? She's a master.
Congratulations!
Boo-YAH! That's a good-lookin' Southern Boy, there.
Y'all keep him fed up with some grits, and don't forget the collards, either. Once he's done nursing, that is.
Welcome the the exciting world of parenting. Grab sleep when you can, and let us know if you need anything.
Congratulations Emily and Hayden and welcome to the world Abe.
Let me know if you guys need anything.

What a beautiful little baby boy,
He will be more fun than a Christmas toy.
We thought you might name him Bill or Joe or Sam.
We never thought of Abraham.
Abraham is a nice name if you don't yell it.
The trouble will be teaching him how to spell it.
He was born way down in the land of cotton.
Let's hope all those grandparents don't spoil him rotten.
Love Pop Pop
Thanks, everyone! It's been an amazing experience so far, and the boy is only a week and a day old.
