Knocked Up

Hello, Baby Boy!

Introducing Axel William, the current Lightweight Champion of the World (crowned by his momma):

 

 The brilliant and beautiful Axel William

 

Born November 1, 2007, at 6:21 pm

 

Weighing in at 6 lbs, 6 ozs

 

Measuring 18.5 inches

 

Likes: Breaking the ladies' hearts with his long blond eyelashes, single left dimple, and alabaster skin

 

Dislikes: Being ridiculed for his thick head of straight brown hair that looks a little like a mullet in the back, or for the thin downy baby gorilla hair on his back

 

Loves: Eating, sleeping, cuddling with his mom, being wrapped up like a burrito by his dad, out pooping the other newborns, and proving his superiority to all other 3-day-old babies by beating them in arm wrestling contests using the strength developed through long punching practices while in the womb

 

More about the labor- with few gory details, I promise - to come!

Congratulations! My son has the same baby gorilla hair on his shoulders, too! And on his tiny little ears. So adorable. It's amazing how much you fall in love, isn't it? Good luck with the first 10 days... Mine have definitely had their ups and downs, but it's really an amazing time, and I look forward to hearing more about your birth experience.

Great name, beautiful little guy. It's amazing how dads kick ass at doing the burrito wraps. So glad to hear he's healthy and you're doing well. Thank you so much for taking the time to update us! You've been in my thoughts! So happy for you all.

First of all, I'd like to start by congratulating Babble's one and only Oz Spies for her brand new baby boy! As the only Babble narrative blogger with a son, I will admit I was rooting for some more testosterone up in this piece. Congratulations

Thank you all for your good wishes!  Glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks he's beautiful - after all, I'm pretty biased.
