One more picture of me playing “hear no evil” 🙂

My Grandma Jo and my big brother Breighton giving me a kiss!

And a really nice photo of my Grandpa Howard holding me!

And a nice one of Grandma Jo. She fed me some formula (low blood sugar again) but Daddy forgot to take a picture!

I’m finally here! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Mommy & Daddy decided to call me Emmerson Carrington Reed.

So, I was born at 9:25 am 16-Jan-08. I was pulled out from having my feet nice and deep in Mommy’s ribs. It’s good that Mommy had a repeat C-section! I had the cord wrapped (but not snug) once around my neck and I was BIG!!!! 8 pounds, 14.6 ounces. 21.25 inches. My head is 15″ and my chest 14″. My APGAR was 8. I had low blood sugar (44 when they want at least 45) so I had to take a little formula. My blood sugar went up nicely. Later on it dropped again (to 40) so I had to have a bottle mixed with glucose. Yum 🙂 Sugar! 🙂 It’s been up and down all day so we’ll have to keep an eye on it 🙁

Here are some pictures:
