Introducing Arthur James Salo

100_3109

So where have we been the past several months. Busy being pregnant and making it through each day. The Salo family is excited to announce the arrival of Arthur James Salo. Arthur was born January 13th at 5:30 p.m. He weighed in at 5lbs 10oz and is 18 inches long.

For those of you interested in the details. We were scheduled for another c-section on the 29th of this month. But my water broke at 6 a.m. on the 13th and little Art decided he wanted to come early.

We were fortunate enough to have my brothers Rob and Scott somewhat close in Seattle for them to come down and celebrate with us. They were huge help in hanging with Henry while I was in the hospital. We don't know what we would of done without them.

This childbirth experience was completely different than with Henry. Arthur actually cried when he came out, Troy was able to hold him while they finished the surgery, he was with us every second of the way after he was born, even in our room with us all during our hospital stay, and he weighed 2lbs 1 oz more than his older brother when he was born.

It has been a wild two weeks having a newborn and a 3 year old in the house together. But incredible to see the next generation of the Salo boys together. We are so blessed to have our two boys and especially a healthy baby.

I'm so glad that this time around you had a different experience....one that wasn't so traumatic! Art sure is beautiful. I wish I could see him in person.

You'll have to email me when you have the time and update me further.

What happened to possibly having a vaginal birth?

Wow, congrats!!! I had no idea you were pregnant. I kept checking your blog to see any recent posts and I clicked on it today and to my surprise you just had a baby! He's adorable and, wow, you have small babies. I'm jealous. My first was 9lbs. 4oz. and second was 8lbs 7oz.
