Big Brother Day A.K.A. Lochlan is Born

Lochlan Elijah Goodale was Born 10/14/2009 at 8:05am, 19 inches and 7 pounds 4 ounces. My c-section went better than any of us had hoped; so thank you for all your prayers. My doctor said that I am lucky that Lochlan was breech and that we did not try for a normal birth because my uterus was thinned out so much that I would have hemorrhaged during the delivery. So, again thank you God for unanswered prayers!

Lochlan has so much hair and he looks like a little mini Steve...

Declan meets Lochlan for the first time in the Post-Op room...

Paka brought Declan to the hospital and then that night they had a slumber party and Paka's house. We tried to make Lochlan's birth special for Declan, calling it Big Brother Day. He got lots of gifts from Paka, Grandma and Lochlan...
