Dylan Thomas is born!

Pauline's sister, Amanda, had her baby boy yesterday, April 8th, at 7:11 p.m. CST. He was a big boy, weighing in at 10 lbs. 2 oz., and 22 1/4 inches (head was 13 1/4 cm.)

Amanda feels much better (and less swollen) today. She may go home with the baby as soon as tomorrow. She was in labor almost 11 or 12 hours!

She had to have a c-section. The baby began to move back up instead of down as her labor progressed; Dylan would have had to be taken out via c-section anyhow because he was so large (they had estimated just over 7 lbs. before delivery). Dylan will be circumsized tomorrow.

Her recovery period will be longer at home (8 weeks leave of absence). She can't wait to have a Dr. Pepper!
