Jusha - Precious Baby Boy

Last night, after just an hour and 19 minutes of being on shift a precious baby boy was born into my hands at 11:19pm.  He weighed 3100g. His mom did great even though she had two previous births which had required episiotomies going against her.  Last night she did it all on her own without even a tear!  Hopefully they will come tomorrow for their "one" day (they had to spend the night due to the late hour, so really he's already 2 days old!)  That will be a better time for pictures.  She had quite a bit of bleeding, which required some extra care and of course she was a little more tired.

The parents were so sweet.  Especially the dad.  There have been many sweet couples, but he has thus far topped every dad here yet with his tenderness and attentiveness to his wife and baby boy.  It is their third, so he happily gave the baby a bath (although, I do love giving baby baths and teaching new parents.  It was precious to watch his joy.)

Here is a picture of the little guy:
